In London They Have Bank Holidays...

HI!

Yesterday was Monday, and it was a Bank Holiday...that's something the Brits do. Not sure why, but it meant that we had TWO DAYS off of school instead of our usual Sunday.
Tyler (from home) was in town this weekend so I saw him. On Saturday we walked like 10 miles...not exaggerating at all.

We started at my place, walked down Regent Street, to Trafalgar Square all the way to Buckingham Palace, then to Parliament Square, across Westminster Bridge, all along the Southbank to the Globe, across Millenium Bridge, back to Trafalgar Square, then to Leicester Square, all the way down Oxford Street, then we ended up here ---



221b Baker Street.
Home of good old Sherlock Holmes.
I had a major fangirl moment because...Benedict Cumberbatch.

So moral of the story...we walked A TON.

Sunday was AWESOME because we went to Harrods to have afternoon tea. At the Disney Cafe. It didn't even matter that we are all adults. No one is ever too old for tea at the Disney Cafe.

It was a BEAUTIFUL weekend, so we finished off our Bank Holiday with Regents Park.
Amazing. So many dogs. So many little children. It was literally gorgeous.

Tonight, a couple of us took another trip to Shakespeare's Globe to see Midsummer Night's Dream. Aside from the incredibly tall human being (I didn't even reach his shoulders) sometimes blocking my view, the show was so, so good. London has given me a very new opinion of Shakespeare.  AND IT DIDNT RAIN ON US! 
And that, my friends, has been my past couple of days here in London!
