Public Transport, Paparazzi, Circus, Globe Theater

Whheeww... we are tuckered out! Dana, Ness, and I have walked up and down the streets of London and have rode on every train and bus route that this town has (at least it feels that way)




We started our day going to Piccadilly Circus and purchased our tickets to see Wicked. It was also celebrity central that day. Not only was the A-Team Premiere that night, we met the Paparazzi... when we told them they couldn't take our picture anymore, they got mean.




What a show! We went to the production of Anne Boylen at the Globe and it was fantastic! There was no photography allowed during the performance, but we did get some a few pictures as well as a video that does the arena more justice.

Aching Feet







The first day that Ness and I were awake enough to walk around London, we took the "Dana Olson- You -Don't - Need -to- Pay -for - a- Bus-, I will just walk you everywhere myself- Tour".

The saying a picture says 1000 words really rings true. Posted above are pictures from our day trip as well as a few videos. Enjoy!!



(Additionally, I am huge hypocrite and wore what I make fun of grown women for doing in the states - but Dana said it was cool here- and then we all went and jumped off a bridge, because everyone was doing it! Here is to Leggings! Cheers ;))

Not your Typical London Home

Landing

Ness (first name Megan, but we call her by her last name) and I arrived in London this afternoon at 12:00 p.m. United Kingdom Time. I have spent a majority of my day resting, trying to be-gone the motion sickness that occured on the flight over here... plus there were just so many people everywhere. A bit exhausting for an introvert like my self :)

Blog Title

Interesting that the title of my Blog Site implies traveling to some extent. While this blog was initially created to archive my journey across the sea... the title has no correlation to the trip.

This past year has been a year of enlightenment. God is moving me to places of discomfort and uncertainty and through the entire process, I continually find my self, not so eloquently, or even correctly for that matter, attempting to quote Phillipians 4:10. Rather than giving my inadequate synopsis, Paul states it best: " ... for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances."

Without going into the nitty gritty details of every intricacy of my life, I will tell you this- The grass has always been greener on the other side... until this point. This is not to say that there are not better things out there, for I believe there are still greater things to come, but I am beginning to see that the green does not appear when I get there, but rather, it's hue becomes evident along the way.

So here is to going to the other side... half the world away... realizing no matter where I go, it's always green. Looking forward to "Enjoying the Journey".
