Off The Beaten Path 

When we first got off the plane and started walking the streets of London on Tuesday, it was so surreal. It was almost like I was walking into a real life fantasy land with the cloudy skies, and beautiful architecture everywhere one could look. There was no denying that it was a beautiful city. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I am actually in London at the moment. Everything about this city is so intriguing and with such rich history. 
So far, my favorite site that we’ve been to is Buckingham Palace. Every room was so extravagant and filled with detail that it took extra time to take in everything. I loved looking up at the ceiling and seeing how even something that is not the center piece of the room, is still full with detail in every way. It goes to show how much time everything took to build and complete and how it is even still used today. 
I also just like to go “off the beaten path” and explore the city by ourselves. It is not so often that we get the chance to get lost in a new city, nonetheless a new country, so I thought it was a great opportunity to get familiar with the culture and surroundings. I will admit that the locals aren’t the most friendly people when one is lost, but we are bound to run into someone who will show us the way. 
I can’t wait for the next few days that we have to continue to explore and discover even more attractions of this giant city.
