Monday, September 27

So it has been a rough couple of days.  I had to move out of my temporary housing and relocate to new temporary housing since the new flat was not ready.  I went from a single room by myself with a shared bathroom to a cell like room with 9 other girls and a shared bathroom on another floor.  This is a lesson in being grateful what you have because always remember you may need to relocate to what amounts to a minimum security prison in the heart of London.

At any rate, my flat should be ready to move into tomorrow and I am THRILLED!!!!!

I was able to do a bit of siteseeing over the weekend.  I explored Regent's Park, which may have just knocked Hyde Park back to my second favorite green space in London.  It was beautiful!!

I was also able to go on the tour of Buckingham Palace (this tour is only available in August and September when the Queen is away).  It was amazing.  Buckingham Palace puts the White House and Versailles to shame.  It is fabulous!  Everything is immaculate and incredibly well maintained.  There is not a frayed carpet or mismatched piece of wallpaper in the entire place.  Here is the view of Buckingham Palace from the back entrance (something you don't see every day).
