Christmas in London


YAY for my warm scarf, candy canes, and Beyonce

 


impromptu NYE with Gerry and Ben








I was lucky enough to spend the holidays with cousins Ben and Gerry in London. I arrived early Christmas Eve and stayed (thanks to my missed flight...) until the first of January. It was a perfect mix of relaxation and sightseeing that was needed during my holiday break from school. I was able to spend time with family and tour more of London that I missed in October.

Highlights include meeting some of their friends, attempting a dance lesson, visiting the Wallace collection and Soane museum, and having a relaxing Christmas at their flat with good food, films, and company. Although Skype failed to work for our Christmas communication plans to the US, we managed some phone calls to family to wish everyone a happy holiday!

Now I'm back in Prague and have the harsh 'back-to-school' reality tomorrow morning..
