LOTS to say and not much to time to really write it. So I'll try and write as much detail while still getting everything in, so sorry if it's spurratic.
The flight to London was relatively uneventful, all I can say is the nerves and excitement were almost too much to handle! But I made it safe and sound and spent my first day running on maybe 2 hours of sleep.
after making it to the hostel we headed off to a local pub for lunch, and I can't lie, I took advantage of the fact that I am legal to drink here. At the pub, a guy came up to a table of four of us claiming to recognize us and wanting photos and autographs. When he "realized" I was a soccer player on team USA he almost gushed... He kept shaking my hand and telling me he hopes I make it to the finals... I didn't have the heart to tell him I only play NCAA division 2 soccer!
After the pub we headed out to the final torch lighting and The Wanted concert. By then exhaustion had begun to sink it... And my buzz was wearing off. A total of about four of us ended up falling asleep at the concert but waking up in time for the final torch lighting. It was amazing to say the least. Getting to see it in person was just too cool. Then, the same four that fell asleep on the ground (Derek, Allie, Frankie, and I) were able to take a picture holding the Olympic Torch!
after the wanted performed, who was really good by the way, we went to Buckingham Palace took some pictures and came back.
I would write more but I am absolutely EXHASTED.
more later!
