Day 55-61: Oxford week 4 and London

Well this last week was pretty hectic I had two tests on Thursday, so the whole week I was just studying. It was horrible. We will see how I did on my tests. On Thursday Cesar and I decided to go to London this weekend. So we got tickets online and went to bed to wake up early in the morning for our trip. Friday we ate breakfast and grabbed the tube to London. We first walked to the London Dungeon, which is a haunted house walk through. We took pictures with Big Ben on the way there, it started to go off while we were standing next to it. The walk to the dungeon was pretty far and we passed through lots of the city. When we got there we got to go straight in since we already had our tickets. It was pretty fun, better then the Amsterdam one. Cesar was picked twice to be in front, once they pretended to chop off his arm and the other time they demonstrated torture devices on him. After that we went to the Tower bridge experience. It's the famous bridge of London with the drawbridge. It was pretty cool we got to go inside and walk across the top. Cesar was most excited about getting to see the engine room, oh what a mechanical engineer. The day was pretty nice for London, it was kind of cold but it didn't rain at all! We walked to the London Eye which was across the city. When we were walking we went into an open market and got some tea. The market was nice, I wish we had some back home. We then made it over to the London Eye. It was so awesome! I could see the whole entire city, it's the tallest thing in London. I saw the Parliament building from up there. It was the best part of the day. Hunger set in while we were up there, so on our way to the station to grab the tube we ate at a restaurant called Wharf. I had a mushroom burger, so good. When we got back we started to do our laundry and then went to the club/pub Thirst. Cesar bought us a fish bowl of long island ice tea. It was pretty good, after we finished it we changed our laundry to the dryer and went back. Then Cesar got us a hookah and we smoked until our laundry was done. When we got back I went to bed. The next day in London we went to Buckingham Palace and got tickets for later in the day. Everyone kept telling me that I need to have fish and chips since I was in London, so I finally did. Vegetarian fish and chips! It was fried Halloumi cheese. Haha It counts though. Afterwards we went to Westminster Abbey and looked at all the dead people. It was so crazy how many tombs were in there. We then went to the park and laid out until our appointment at Buckingham Palace. Inside Buckingham Palace was amazing! It was so beautiful and ornate. Everything inside was worth more than anything I have ever owned. Even the letter opener. Haha I got to see Kate Middleton's wedding dress. The made the lace by hand with stitches that were 18th of inches apart and had to change needles every 30 minutes. It was crazy. After being inside and seeing the splendors of royalty we went into the garden for some afternoon tea! It was really fun. I then bought some Royal blend tea for mami and me! Cesar's mom told him to take me to the haunted pub underground. It was a cellar that was under the regular buildings. It was so hot in there since it was lit up by candles. We had a half bottle of wine and then left because we were sweating. We stopped at an Italian restaurant to eat dinner and then caught a bus back to Oxford. We went straight to sleep when we got back. Today I woke up and went to lunch with Cesar, burritos! We then went to the movies and saw Captain America! It was so weird to see the most USA of movies in the UK. Now I should be writing my paper for government but instead I am updating my blog.
