Hey again,

Just thought i would give you an update since new years,

Went to London to visit Hollie (Emily's roomate from school - and she was also an occupent at 606). Went to the British Museum which is just stunning. Saw the Egypian and Assyrian sections, then made our way to the Canada store - yes it sells things that are Canadian and i got Kraft peanut butter!!!! The peanut butter here is just...not the same.

Here is the famous Reading Room in the Museum. Members of the Reading Room have included...Karl Marx, Darwin, Virginia Wolfe, Dickens, and so many more. It is a stuning building.



Then we headed to go see the new Bond film at Leicester Square (theatre and show district). Around the square there are 4 LARGE movie theatres, which i thought was odd but i am told that they are all busy especially since if there is ever a movie premier in London this square is were it happens.

Then off to Hollie's. Next day we went to Camden Gardens Market - really good and busy. Had some fantastic mexican food.

Then back to Birmingham after a very long and delayed train ride. (left at 3:20 arrived at 7:00pm - it is normally just over two hours).

Anyway...here is me in Amsterdam down the street from our hotel. It was a fantastic location as it was in the fashion and museum district.




Hope all is well and that you take care. Miss and Love you all,
M.

P.S. Mom andDad have booked the tickets for April!!!! Can't wait to see the family!!!!
