Kyle and the character he played in his production of Nicholas Nickleby.So, my family and I arrived in London on Wednesday evening. In the last couple of days I have seen many of London's most famous landmarks: the Tower of London, Big Ben, the Eye, the Houses of Parliament, the British museum, Harrod's, Buckingham Palace, and Sir Ian Mckellen's penis. Yes, that's right, I saw Magneto's penis...jealous much? Why/how you ask? We went and saw King Lear tonight and well, Lear went so mad that he just decided to take off his clothes. Of course my mom slept through that part and has been asking nasty questions about the details ever since.
London has been fun. Earlier today my mom and I went for afternoon tea. It was ridiculously expensive. But was a nice experience. Oh, and I've tried to take up sketching again. Thus far, not so pretty. But I haven't really been all that into sketching since like sophomore year of high school, so maybe the little skill I had will come back...Fortunately, I have been able to get away from my family a bit (since they often drive me crazy). Kyle and I have decided to be best friends this trip which has been nice. Ewww...and Brian is being even more disgusting then usual, or maybe I'm just noticing it more. Of course he never showers or changes his clothes (and when he does they are always inside-out). But he has also been running around doing fake British accents, belching, and being loud. I'm not really sure I want to travel with him ever again. I like the idea of trying to respect others' culture. Whereas, I don't really think he does.
Tomorrow we wake up early, head of to King's Cross (and therefore platform 9 3/4!!!!) and then onto Paris. I know like 3 phrases in French (and one of them is "I am a mustache") and that's about the most that any of us know. I have the feeling I'm going to have to be the one who talks to everyone. I feel bad about butchering their language. But at least I'm gonna try, right?

I'll upload my photos to my Snapfish account in the next couple of days and post the link soon.
