today was the best day ever. ok, maybe not the BEST, considering we got caught outside in the freezing rain...but we took refuge in the National Gallery of Art and got to visit with Van Gogh (happy sigh). he's my fave...
a few things i learned today...
1. do not bring ONLY cloth shoes to a foreign country (i.e. TOMS, moccasins..) the weather is unpredictable!
2. prepare to go back to America with a new haircut and dressing differently...you get a lot of inspiration.
3. Big Ben isn't quite as BIG as you think it is...but it's amazing!!
4. everyone thinks the London Bridge is the big, pretty one...it's not! that is the Tower Bridge :)
5. London goes on forever...and everything is so old and wonderful
6. Hyde Park used to be the private hunting grounds for the King...which he later turned into a public park
7. i want to move to London so i can get a dog and take it on the train, buses, etc. (crazy!)
8. i HIGHLY recommend the "original tour" bus...i learned a lot and it was fun!
9. you can't take cameras into the National Gallery of Art...jerks :/
10.oh snap - i'm going to be in Venice tomorrow!
i learned a lot more today, but i have much packing to do!
