Today we actually got to sleep in, because it was technically a free day! A bunch of people went to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham, but since I had already seen a changing of the guard, I decided to sleep instead. When my flat woke up, we went (along with some others) to Abbey Road. We thought that would be a good way to spend out free day. We hopped on the tube, and after a few changes we got to Abbey Road. However it was about 1 on a Sunday afternoon, which meant the intersections was really busy! It’s a three-way intersection and some of the locals aren’t too happy about people doing the Beatles walk. But we were there to get the picture done—so Corby, Amy, Meghan and I did the walk and people attempted to get a good shot from the middle of the road. We also got to see the famous recording studio. After taking pictures and having pictures taken—while attempting to do the walk a few times, we all left to get some food.
We all ate lunch at The Elgin pub near Abbey road. It was good soup (parsnip and butternut squash—you would have liked it Mom – or probably said you could have made it better). After lunch we went home to spend a few nice hours doing nothing—free days are awesome.
The girls and some guys decided to go out for a nice sit down dinner for our last night out in London. Amy, Corby, Meghan, Andi, Matt, Nick, Cory, Mike and I all went to a nice fish restaurant. I had some California rolls for a starter—which when dipped in soy sauce and wasabi it was actually really, really good. After dinner we decided to dabble in some of the London pub scene. We went to O’Neils which was completely empty because it was a Sunday night. It ended up being really fun because the group of us had a blast. I tried Guinness with blackcurrant—it was amazing! I’ve never liked Guinness before, but the blackcurrant made it taste great. After a few pints, we went to Cheers and had some more fun. Followed by some eating of cheap McDonalds. It was a good night out (and probably our last because we have to get up at 6 on Tuesday morning to go to France). I had a lot of fun, and I’m started to get pretty excited about Paris!
