i think london just got rickrolled...

SO last night we went for a walk, and found the Thames Path, which is a path, right along the Thames River. Which may seem pretty obvious, except its like, right beside our hostel. and it looks at and leads us right to the LONDON BRIDGE!!! AHHHHHHHHHH so exciting!!! like, it was so pretty, i still can hardly believe that we were there. especially right at dusk, it was soo gorgeous.
also, as we were about to walk up the stairs to it, we passed this pub, and there was a some jazz versions of popular songs. as we were walking up it was yellow, by coldplay...and when we walked down, it was Never gonna give you up, by rick astley.
i kid you not.

it was beautiful.

anywhooo today we went to the Imperial War Museum and it was really emotional and lovely, except we were there for far too long, in my opinion. but jake was happy, so i was like, whateva. it was still really cool. there were exhibits from world war 1 to present day, and there was a whole exhibit dedicated to children in WW2. i cried. lots. it was amazing.
we walked back to the hostel from it (bad idea) and it was so far. blech. but we got to see so much of london, it was really cool
also, nobody in london smiles at strangers. i try to smile at people when we pass them and they usually keep there eyes on the ground or pretend they don't see.
and apparently their dogs aren't that outgoing either. i saw a dog in a park, and was like 'puppy! puppyyyy!' and it looked up, and instead of wagging its tail...he ran away.
WHO DOES THAT???

so probably the london eye tomorrow, wish us luck!!!
