Since I wasn't able to make it to Switzerland, my friend Marie (aka Mahee) came with a friend to visit me in London. She was a foreign exchange student at my high school when we were juniors, and when I said good-bye 5 years ago I really didn't think I'd see her again...what a small world :)
So, this past weekend was a test of how well I really know London. I think we were able to see all the big tourist draws in two (exhausting) days: Portobello Road Market in Notting Hill, St. Paul's, Tate Modern, National Gallery, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, some parks, Natural History Museum, attempt at Harrods, Oxford Street and Primark (not once, but twice!...think Wal-Mart fashion store).
In exchange for tube/underground lessons, they helped me with my French for when I go to Paris: "J'aimerais une table pour deux, s'il voux plait." She also brought me some Swiss chocolate, and I took them to get fish-n-chips.
It was a fun weekend, and I think I passed the tour guide test, so if anyone wants to come over, I'm your girl!
