My Trip to England!

Day 1: My flight left Logan airport at 8:20 pm and landed in London, England at 7:40 am the next day. On my first day of my trip I had to go through the US customs and the England customs because I was leaving the US and entering England. Customs took a while but it was well worth it because I had an exciting vacation ahead. After checking in with customs I had to pick up my car rental and then I had to chakc in with my hotel. After checking in with my hotel I spent the rest of the night I went out to lunch and chilled the whole day after having huge jet lag.

Day 2: On my second day after having a great night's sleep I decided I was going to do some activities today. The first thing I decided to was go to the Tower of London for free. It was a blast, the Tower of London was so much fun, it was agreat mix of fun and historical meaning. This is a great place to visit because it is alot of family fun. After visiting the tower that night I went to see The Lion King, this is the best performance of any kind I have ever seen. The actors were great and the dancing was even better. This was a great family activity because it wasn't too childish but it was not too mature for kids, this is a must see when you visit England. That is it for today and now I am heading back to my hotel for the night.

Day 3: The first thing I did today was see the changing of the guard, I have seen this once before in Washington D.C. and it is a truly extroadinary event. These guards are amazingly orderly and quiet, it is an immense honor to be one of those guards so they take their jobs extremely serous. They do not talk and they do not make one wrong move, it is an extremely cool thing to see. After leaving the changing of the guard I quickly traveled to the Geffrye Museum which was quite the site to see as well. Usually history is dull and boring but this museum made it seem fun and brought history to life. These events are even better because they are free, it is a great way to have fun and save money while doing it. Once again that is all for today, talk to you tomorrow and tell you all the great activities I decide to do.

Day 4: This was by far the best day I spent in England. Seeing Arsenal play has been a life long dream of mine, it was definitely worth the wait. The stadium was electric and the chants were amazing, it was just so much fun getting to see such a wonderful club play and see the support they get. It was even a better day seeing Arsenal pull off the win versus foe Portsmouth 3-1. This took up my whole day because it was a mid day game and I had to wait all day just to get into the stadium. After the game it was cool to see all the pubs filled with Arsenal fans and even that night when I went out to dinner that's all you heard was the talk about Arsenal and their title hopes. This is not a place for kids though, there are crazy Europeans that go to these games so this is an event you should not bring your kid to. I am exhausted after this exhilirating day so talk to you tomorrow after this well needed night's sleep.

Day 5: Since this is the last day I really got ot spend in Engalnd I decided to do some shopping and site seeing. I took a visit to the Covent Garden Market and shopped around for a bit until I heard about the huge telescope. I thought to myself that I had to see that, so I quickly traveled over to the telescope in which you can see all the way to New York City! This is by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen. After a long day of walking around I had to find something soothing to do that night. So I looked around and decided to go night fishing, this is the first time I had ever been really fishing out on a boat. This was so cool because it was soothing and it was so much fun, even though I didn't catch anything it was still fun.

Day 6: On this day I had to leave the beautiful city of London, so once again I had to go through customs. It wasn't bad this time around because I had already been through it. My flight left at 4:30 pm and I arrived in Madrid at 7:50 pm. This flight was a great time to catch up on some sleep so I did so. When I woke up in Madrid I had to go through customs and this was difficult because they didn't speak much English, good thing I have been taking Spanish since Kindergarden. It took about 3 hours to go through customs and it was such a waste of my time. After finally getting through customs I got to pick up my Audi A8 from the rental place. This has been my dream car since I was a little kid. After picking up my car I traveled to the hotel and checked in with them, it was different being in a country that didn't speak English. It was quite the experience and it was kinda fun.
