I'll see my family in a few days too! Oh happy day!

Portobello Road










Well, there were a lot of people on Portobello Road, in fact I think all of London may have decided to go today.

Oxford, Warwick and Stratford-Upon-Avon







Yesterday we left London by coach, first stopping in Oxford where we walked all around Oxford University, then onto Warwick where we visited Warwick Castle. It's been turned into a sort of medieval amusement park. There was jousting and wax figures...the castle is real everything else built up around it and in it is somewhat questionable. We then went to Stratford where we watched The Merchant of Venice, performed by the Royal Shakespearean Company. There was a little more Elvis than I expected, but it was pretty fun. We stayed at an adorable little B&B called Woodstock and the next morning we saw Macbeth. I couldn't stand it so I left at intermission and went shopping. Stratford-Upon-Avon is a really nice little town. I could happily live there I think.

Just a week left in London and I must admit I'm ready to head back to the real world now, but I feel the need to cram in as much as possible in the little time I have left.
