On Mondays, we wear purple. On Tuesdays, we do everything we can to dress differently.

If you've ever seen Mean Girls you'll understand the reference. Monday morning, Devin, Melissa, Stephanie and Staci woke up and got dressed. They met downstairs only to find out they were all wearing purple shirts, no one wanted to change (Trina wore white, Kelly wore grey and Heather wore navy, incase you were wondering). This brought many laughs and comments from strangers on our outfits. Purple people?

Monday was a free day for us (literally). We rode the buses for free (only to later find out that is terms for jail. It isn't our fault that no one looked at the date on our tickets). To avoid foreign prosecution, we decided it might be a good idea to buy a new one. We went to the British Mueseum (also free) and looked at stuff. Egyptian stuff, Mesopotamian stuff, Greek Stuff and the Rosetta Stone. We hopped on our favorite thing, the double decker buses (we miss you!) and went to Westminster Abbey, where we also got in for free. We walked in (which apparently you can do), and there was a service going on, so we went, and saw the abbey for free (the Jewish girls too)! HANDS DOWN BEST ABBEY EVER! (we've only been to one though...)

After the Abbey, we decided it would be a fabulous idea to dine in Chelsea, how quaint is that?! Naturally we took the wrong bus on the way home and end up in the London "burbs". Four hours later we made it to King's Cross (only to find out that we had to pay $100 on top of our Eurail pass in order to leave London and travel to Paris). We'll be taking donations upon our arrival home. According to the lady at the train station this is because the only train out of London is "high-speed". We contemplated swimming out of London, but with the weight of our backpacks, that probably isn't the best idea.

Tuesday

We woke up at 4:30 and peaced out of our horrible London hostile (seriosly, horrible, see yesterday's post) and hopped on the expensive train to Paris. We arrived at lightning speed and headed to our hostile, where we are not allowed into our room until 5, which is why we are blogging right now (t-minus 30 minutes until we can finally take a shower!).

We walked around and Devin proved her French skills (shout-out to Devin's mom and dad, her college eduacation paid off). We met up with Melissa's mom and dad (hi guys! Mr. Peters, are you reading this from your Blackberry? Our homies say what's up) and went to lunch with them. Devin once again proved her French skills as our waitor did not speak English.

Tomorrow's agenda: Getting that picture of the Mona Lisa (the Louvre), the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, the Arc de triomphe, the Metro and whereever else the wind takes us (hopefully not too windy though).

Best meal of the past 2 days: Toss up between Whole Foods and everything in France.

Worst Meal: Warm water.

Random moment: Going over the same bridge 3 times in the London suburbs before realizing we were severely lost.

Shout outs:
-Staci Stringer (the other Staci with an i), see you in Amsterdam!
-Dad and Kyle for emailing me back ASAP with eurail info.- Trina
-Becky... SUCCESS!
-Sorry Mom and Dad, no spell check in France.

P.S. anyone can leave a comment now.
