Bridges, Buildings and Brollies

Tower Bridge

London. It’s one of my favorite cities in the entire world. Not that I’ve been to every city in the entire world, but you know what I mean. Since my mom is from here, I’ve been quite a lot. I’ve always said that I could definitely see myself living here at some point in my life, and it’s even more true now. I’m in the mindset of living in new places, so everywhere is a possibility, especially a city like London that I know relatively well and feel pretty comfortable. Also I have to give a shout out to the Martin family for hosting us this trip and every other time that I and my family have come to London, whether it was planned in advance or not! They are wonderful and I really don’t know where I would be without them. Cheers, guys!

Day One

The first thing we did when we arrived at the Martin’s was, naturally, have a cup of tea. We then drove by Wimbledon and went wild blackberry picking. About an hour and a half and a few stinging nettle bites later, we came home with four bags of blackberries. Quite successful. And a great addition to the porridge at breakfast the next morning! The day concluded with traditional, real fish and chips. Otherwise known as heaven.
