catching up!

thursday i was a bit lazy and stayed in and did my laundry since the weather was really dreadful anyway. for some reason, pete's machine takes 3 hours to do a load of laundry. however, it's quite convenient because it does the wash and dry all in one device! so while washing i called up the fabu heath to see if he would be available for a cut (he cut my hair back in the oc). he had me come over at 5 and we were able to catch up. it was so fun and great to see him. he's loving london! pete and i then had a fabu dinner at a thai place that was amazing with yummy panang chicken curry and of course mango sticky rice!

friday i did an all day tour of windsor, stonehenge and bath. i loved it! windsor was really interesting and beautiful, stonehenge was fascinating and bath was just gorgeous! we had the funniest guide and every other word out of her mouth was naughty, great news ladies or sexy. she ruled! see some pics below. the camera died half way through stonehenge so i bought a disposable for bath and will post those pics later.

today i woke up at 1:15! PM! it was so marvelous! i haven't done that since i don't remember when!!! ;) i slowly (very, very slowly) got ready. pete and i got on the tube and had a long discussion about how long it takes to get to heathrow on the piccadilly line not realizing we were going the wrong way. a few people laughed at us as pete stated our inability to get on the proper train quite publicly and we got up and got off the train at the next stop. as we got on to the right train we saw all these crazy people dressed up in neon colored clothing. one person was even in a banana costume. it was so great!

pete and i poked our heads in to the british museum for a few minutes (it closed within 10 minutes of us getting there) and then we grabbed a coffee at starbucks. we then headed to st. paul's cathedral and it was massive and beautiful. after that we then went to the tate modern museum. we had a great time looking through the exhibits and decided to have dinner upstairs in the restaurant. it had the most spectacular views!

cool spider sculpture at tate:


pete and i were on crack! ;):

i just had to post this - it's pete's hair dryer!:


it was a great night overall. coming back we saw a stag party and the soon to be groom was dressed in full regalia as snow white and his friends were wearing elf hats. that was quite the topper to end the day! i wish i would have taken a picture of that!

i am heading home tomorrow. WOW! not sure what i'm feeling but i am so excited to get back to nyc.

MWAH!
