Stranded...but HAPPY!

So today I decided to be spontaneous. Three of my Aussie friends, Clare,Alice, and Kate went to London on Friday, but I had class so I couldn't. Our other friend Carl who lives 25mins from London was going to meet up with the girls on Saturday and show them around, and on Thursday night before they left he said I should join them on Saturday. Well if you know me at all, you know I am not the type to just decide to go somewhere, plans are needed. But I went to bed on Friday and all I could think about was how I wanted to go to London. I then convinced Prerna, Will, and Kelly to come along, so I wouldn't have to travel alone! We got up at 6am ( UNHOLY TIME) and grabbed the train and was there by 10:30! Carl and his brother Russel, who mind you was a spitting image of my uncle Kenny at the age of 26, met us at the tube station. The six of us decided to go to Camden and meet the three other Aussie girls, needless to say the girls shopped until they dropped! (I didn't dad...you can start breathing again) After that I had a run in with a rouge pigeon..I hate birds! This bird had the guts to dive bomb my head, alas making me look like I was a crazy lady running from a damn bird! After that ordeal The three boys, Prerna, Kelly and I went to Footlocker and New Era...stores for boys. But it was really fun to see the boys be sooo into shopping..Will actually said "I need to do retail therapy!!!" We then all met up for dinner and this mexican food place. After dinner the girls went back to camden to get their bags from the hostel so they could go home, the three boys and the others decided we wanted to go on the eye! The London Eye is this HUGE hundred foot fairest wheel. You can see allll of London, mind you we went on in the dark...while it was raining. Still well worth it! After that we went to a pub called the slug and lettuce..weird name but awesome drinks. It was really nice to just sit around with a nice drink and good company and just be in the moment, I mean when will I ever be back at 10pm in a London bar drinking with these friends...probs never! We then got a call from Clare saying how the trains were not working and there was no way of getting home tonight....awesome! It ends up that we are stranded in London. Thankfully Carl offered up his house. So all eight of us slept in his living room on the floor...not the best accommodations I have ever had but it was fun! I had no clothes since I assumed it was just a day trip so I had to borrow a pair of Basketball shorts and a huge tshirt...I am sure I looked very attractive. And in the morning I was awoken by Casey (their dog) licking me..YUM! I have never been the one to spontaneously do anything...but if I am being honest...that was one of the funnest days/nights of my life! It was fun not to have a plan..and just roam! It was a great day with awesome people...have I told you guys...I really don't want to leave England?
