'Gonna meet Peter at the Perk...'
So today was our last full day in London and we are very sad for it. I absolutely love this city, would never hesitate to live here, and I'm sure Robyn feels the same way. We had our last meal, British roast (which is a tradition every Sunday). Very sad to be leaving this beautiful, lively, and glorious city. But the last couple days here have been so amazing. Thursday was Arcade Fire and Mumford and Sons at Hyde Park. Concerts are a little different here, less massive-stadium-insanity and more what I imagine Woodstock would have been like in the 60's. Needless to say, amazing. Both bands were absolutely incredible. Even though there was a very intoxicated British female that took all my patience not to punch in the face. But the concert was incredible. Next day we did Windsor, which we both agreed was the most beautiful palace we've seen yet. Partially inhabited by the Queen though, so there was a lot of the palace that was closed. Another great thing about Windsor was that king Henry VIII and Jane seymore was buried there so we got to see their grave. That evening was CANADA DAY! Wheu! I was so impressed with the festivities that occurred in Trafalgar Square. Really it was just an excuse for the locals to get smashed. But there were so many people, it was a lot of fun. Even though there were some nasty creepy Turkish men that were trying to ask where we were staying- hey, fuck off, you sex traffickers. Made me angry. But! Otherwise, the evening was wonderful. Saturday we made a day trip to Oxford. As Robyn already said, we ate at Jamie Oliver's restaurant, which was...I died inside a little. I can't even explain. God. So amazing. But the trip to Oxford Unoversity was the most special thing to me that day. I can't even imagine actually attending university there, so beautiful, so much history. It actually made me quite melancholic. Like one of those dreams that you can see but know is not practical. It was amazing, but for me- very disheartening. Still though, I want to go. I'm stubborn that way. Tomorrow is our official last day in London, our flight leaves at 3:15. I am going to the Hyde Park stables to go for a ride around the park. I am SO excited for this- I can't think of a better way to finisb off London than a ride in the park. Maybe I'll meet Peter there...with my breasezez all pushed up. Heheh. Sorry for those who don't understand this reference. Too BAD FOR YOU. Anyhow. Excited for Amsterdam tomorrow! Will keep you posted. Peace and blessangs, peace and blessangs.

iBahahahahahahaha That reference was simply beautiful Jess Jess! We just got home from hiking in Waterton, it was fantastic! We even had a very close encounter with a black bear right before we were going to have a hot dog roast. Needless to say we decided not to continue with our plan. We also learned that yelling and throwing rocks at a bear when it smells food does nothing at all. Steveo had to get the bear banger out before it would leave!! I miss you and am so glad you got to see so much in London. Keep up the blog, I am loving reading everything that is going on with you two! Peace and blessangs, peace and blessangs.
