Ana was staying with some cousins of hers in Wimbleton and we decided to meet at Paddington Train Station in London. we were going to wander our butts off! Harvey drove me to Reading Station for me to buy my ticket. A return ticket to London, that included the underground tubs (subways) was 20 pounds! $40!!!!! ridiculous. It took us about a half an hour to find eachother at the train station, and when we did all was well! We started off with errands. I had to get my phone activated and working; she had to buy her train ticket for France where she was meeting Arthur. By the time we did all our needed shopping we were starving, so we decided to buy some fruit, and a salad to share at the supermarket. it worked out really well; we each spent 3 pounds on our food ($6) and were very full. Finally we bought our food, and got back on the Tube to head to Westminster Station to eat there and wander there, but knowing us, we missed our stop and couldnt wait any longer, so we ate on the train and then made our way back in the right direction towards Westminster. We got off the station and at one we noticed how many cuties there were. Some were only good looking just for the fact that they were wearing suits, but a lot of naturally good looking faces, both Ana and I were very pleased :) We began wandering towards the House of Parliment, which really was about 5 blocks in length. Ridiculously long! we took many photos of the area, as well as a couple with the UK Policemen. I also managed to get yelled at.
We went down to one of the train stations to use the toilet (uk lingo :P) and I didnt feel like paying the 50 pence, so I decided to crawl underneath. Right when I crawled underneath, the toilet police lady came out of her room and said "GO OUT!" so instead, I gave her the 2 pound coin that got stuck in the machine and frustrated her so much that I just simply decided to leave. It was fun.
We left the station, still counting the boys, I think we were up to 15 or so at the point and headed towards Buckingham palace as we passed the House of Parliment. We finally got to the Royal Red Road and had the most incredible time swinging our legs above the pond.We sat ther for nearly an hour singing old school songs and wishing we had a joint to lit up! (o what a bc thing to say)
