Wow. Well these last few days have been such a blur. I love London! The people here are so nice and even if they aren't trying to be nice, their accent makes them sound nice! We've met so many cool people here, i have at least five new friends. The ones we got closest too were these two boys from australia...
You know when you make awkward eye contact from someone across the room and then end up talking and then becoming best friends? It was sort of one of those moments. :) Me and my mom were on an all day tour bus going to Windsor Palace, Stonehenge, and Bathe England when we met them. I'm not sure how but my mom just started talking to these two young boys, Michael and Nathan. They've been mates since they were little and are just now starting to travel around europe. On all the stops in our tour we would just hang out with them and i guess after spending 8 hours of your day with someone you barely knew, you get close. They invited me to hang out with them all day the next day so i did and it was a blast! It was good spending time with people who were closer in age to me, we related more. Michael is 24 and Nathan is 22. They also brought their friend along, hannah who was so sweet. We became close as well.
They left this morning to go to Ireland for New Year's. Nathan is coming out to L.A later this year though and he is going to stay with us! Good bye's are weird for me though. It's funny how the soul keeps no time. You could know someone for a day or a year and still have a connection with them. Who knows, i could never see them again and they could end up being a big part of my life, time will tell.
Today we met a family from Greece! There are two girls close to my age who barely know english but we exchanged facebook information anyway :). We met them while we were on the Thames river, touring the city one last time. They even invited us to come stay with them if we ever come to Greece! I think it's great how you can meet someone and find at least one common interest with them. It's like we all are connected and have a common thread in some way, even if you live on the other side of the globe.
Those are my thoughts for today. Tonight we are seeing Les Miserables and then heading to Trafalgar Square for New Year's! I can't wait to see whats in store for me this upcoming year. :)
