Day Nine in England - "I love how at home I feel here."

Heyy mommy,

Today was awesome! Alix and I actually got up this morning! Finally. We got up and went to the train station all by ourselves! It was like learning how to walk, except a little easier lol. The train ride was alright, except we went on the train that had a bunch of stops so it took a while. When we got to Waterloo, we went looking for a store to find my camera. We took a bus to Victoria and talked with the very nice and friendly bus driver, Steve. He helped us find where we wanted to go and he chatted with us about London and just silly things. He certainly made our day with his kindness. Alix and I agreed that there needed to be more people like him in the world. We told him that if we were citizens, we would elect him Prime Minister. When we bought my camera, our stomachs were growling so we went to one of the many sandwich shops located in London, and had the BEST lemon cheesecake ever for dessert. It was awesome. We took the 507 bus back to Waterloo, but we were very disappointed to see that the driver wasn't Steve as we had expected. We walked to the Eye of London, which is the BIGGEST ferris wheel I've ever seen! You could probably see all of London from the top. We had planned to ride it, but it was getting late, our cell phone had died, and there was a huge line. So, we decided we would have to go back tomorrow, ride the Eye of London, and go see Big Ben. When we got home, Dave and Susan made burritos and we all watched Hancock :) It was so much fun and I love how at home I feel here. Yes, it isn't really home, but it's pretty close :) Well, that's all for now.

Good Night!
<3 always, Your Rae of Sunshine
