Tea Time!!

London! The city I've been to at least two times before, but has never gotten old.

This is the city where I got to finally meet a bloggy friend, Jackie. It was great/kinda surreal to meet a blog friend, especially Jax, who is hilarious, upbeat and always down for a good time. She was the best host by far (she bought me CHOCOLATE...that scores major points) and an excellent tour guide. And she has an adorable English accent to boot. Dannnng girl. You got it going on!

Well, enough with the chatter, here are some pictures of our adventure in London:


I like to hold midget-sized matching couples in my hand.


Does this need a caption? Yep, this is the real Abbey Road. I'm Paul.


Sitting on the "tube," doing a girly pose.


London=Gotham City.


Well Hello Big Ben! (and the Parliament Building).


Notting Hill was too cute.


Random shot of the city.


What did I tell you? We definitely had tea time!


Lovely English summer day.


Dancing at an American-inspired club.


Two Blog friends meeting!! And a story to boot (as told by Jackie):

Another adventure on the tube and then there we were, walking on the cobblestones up to Chez Gerard, one of my favourite bars for Long Island Iced Teas. We sat sipping our drinks and chatting for a long while and then, my favourite moment of the night, Ashley insisted on buying me another drink and the conversation with the bartender went as follows:

Me: Could I have the cocktail menu please?...Ooh, I'll have a Strawberry Daiquiri, please!


Ashley: And I'm buying her drink!...But we're not lesbians. But I am paying.


(Bartender cracks up and turns around to get ingredients for my drink)


Me: Great Ashley, now I look like a prostitute!


(Bartender comes back)


Ashley: She's not a prostitute, by the way.


(Bartender bursts into hysterics)


Ashley: ...But we did meet on the internet.


The Bartender :)


Good motto to go by :)

London, I really do love you...
