England is awesome. And raining. But not cold. And awesome.
(that was Bridget using MY adjectives. Note that? AWESOME)
Yesterday, we arrived in London, and made our way to Cambridge. This involved taking the tube, and a train from King's Cross station. Yes, we saw Platform "9 3/4", for all you Harry Potter fans. Mark picked us up at the train station, and we spent the evening (New Years Eve!) at his house with his family and friends. For those of you who don't know Mark, he was an exchange student at MIT a few years ago from the University of Cambridge. Mark is a very cool person, and he and his parents have been SO GOOD to us since we've been here. They have fed us, driven us places, looked up buses and trains, given us maps, and generally been so welcoming.
Today Kirstyn, Mark, and I went into London for the day to do some sightseeing. It was pouring rain the entire day, and we got soaked, but it was still a lot of fun. We walked all over the city, and saw Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Parliament, St. Paul's Church, the Tower of London, and much more. We rode on a double-decker bus (!!), and had fun checking out different tube stops.
Got to catch up with Mark a bit, which was so nice :)

Randoms stuffs:
GO MSU!!!!! The Rosebowl starts in 10 minutes.
Knowledge of British history goes like this: Mark >> Bridget >= Kirstyn
BRIDGET JUST TYPED EVERYTHING AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE SAID.
^^I wrote GO MSU and I'm not even an MSU fan. Have some faith. ~Bridget
