What a wonderful break! I feel really frustrated with Italy lately, so getting outta dodge was soooooooo awesome! With my Carta in hand, I went to the closest place to America (in terms of society) I could: London! I had a great time! It is my second trip there so it really did feel like home. I had 18 Starbucks, all my clothing sizes available and best of all, no language barriers! I had the London pass so we had access to all the major sites. I loved Kensington palace, which was located right by our hotel. The Diana exhibit was really emotional! We also saw the Tower of London, Camden (my fav) and did the Tower Bridge Tour. I was disappointed with the aquarium, for London I was expecting much more. Feel free to skip this your next visit. I have to say my second love is London (the first being Dani of course)! Such a busy time right now, but next Saturday is the wedding!!! Here are the pics:

Special Thanks:
Oh, you’re making me miss London now!
Wonderful pictures and I’m very jealous ’cause I would like to visit London one day myself. You’re a very beautiful woman and I always enjoyed looking at your pictures, ’cause it’s like attending a tourism class.
Did it cost you a lot of money to stay in London?
Congratulations for the wedding, and I hope everything will go very smooth and worry-free for you. I bet there’s a lot of work to do for the big day. All the best wishes!
I miss your notes…maybe you don’t log on OD anymore. Would like to hear from you sometimes. Take care.
Isn’t it great to live in a place that is sooooo close to a million other amazing places? That’s one of the perks of living in europe (I try to remind myself of that when Italy is getting on my nerves!). Every now and then, a break is good (=
I want to live there but I’ve only visited for a while, and I thought Wales was beautiful as well. Aquariums scare me, but I’m curious about the clothing sizes–are you too tall for Italian outfits? And did you really miss Starbucks?! You can talk endlessly about awesome coffee and food; if I were you I would think after all that Italian culture Starbucks would be a bit below me!
Hi Jess, you and your sis are too cute! I’m still following your blog, but haven’t written any notes..I’ve been on my own little planet these days. Thanks for your note on OD. Best wishes to you for a fabulous wedding!! Much love from New York!! xoxo.
Looks and sounds like you had a blast in London.
Best wishes for you and your sweetheart on your wedding day!!!
