hullo, mate!

okay...i think i might have heard a couple of people say "mate" this weekend. but not many. the funny thing is, when you're surrounded by people with british accents, you can't help but pick it up yourself. its strange. i kept catching kelly saying phrases with an accent. and i kept saying "yeah" like they did. haha.

so how was the trip you're wondering? it was FANTASTIC. london is the best. ever. i could live there. i really could. i could actually see myself doing it. the only thing that would suck would be flying home. but anyway, back to the happiness of london. i guess the only city that i can compare it to is NYC, which i love. its so big, and there is so much to do. we took the Tube everywere (subway) so it was really easy to get around. it took us everywhere we wanted to go. everyone was VERY helpful. compared to italy is was really crazy. we could ask strangesr on the street how to get somewhere and they didn't give us evil looks. lol. all the public transportation people were more than happy to give us advice. it was great. plus its cleaner.

um...i'm not entirely sure what my favorite thing would have been. i really like seeing all of the sites and everything. Chicago was amazing. i've only ever seen parts of the movie, so it was great to see the real show. and it was SO good. my favorite song was probably We Both Reached for the Gun, if i can find it, i'll include the version from the movie below. the puppitering bit was hilarious. i guess i didn't catch the humor of hte movie in the bits i saw, so for me Chicago was so much funnier than i thought it was going to be.

ouch. i'm getting a neck cramp from looking at this computer. urgh. this week is supposed to be goregous in Florence. up to like 12 or 13 degrees celicus which i think is around 55 or 60 degrees fahrinheit. woot. on Saturday i leave for Paris. i can't wait to see mom. i'm so excited. its crazy to think that i've been here for like a month and half already. time is going by so fast.

okay...here's the Chicago video. although, obviously the version i saw was not as flashy.
