Happy Halloween my friends and hello from London!

DSC_0073-2.jpg

What are you going to be for Halloween? I'm going as a total American Tourist through the streets of London, haha! Today I wanted to share a few of the first pictures from my trip. I'm loving every bit of this city, the people, the sights, sounds, smells, and TASTES! Not to mention the deep, deep history behind such a historic place. I can't believe I'm here!

I'll keep the words short today because I've got lots more sightseeing to do today (we're riding the London Eye!) and the day has just begun in this time zone. So here we go with the pictures. I think they can pretty much speak for themselves, you know, because a picture is worth a thousand words!

Enjoy your travels @gringalicious. You deserve it!

i hope i come back with fond memories ... only got one night, didnt even book a hotel ... i wanna "do the city" like i did paris in august and venice in february ...

venice is about 30minutes walk side to side if you dont get lost in the maze ... Paris is a different story ... people kept telling me "take the metro" which i did between districts but otherwise all i can say
how can i feel the city if i do not see the streets ?
i hear London is dangerous .. but i hear Paris is dangerous too, by day its military everywhere, at night ?

you don't see or hear police .. at least i didn't , it's like they're scared to come out but i had like actually only one guy follow me about three streets demanding something in a language i dont know while me telling him to "dégage" lol ... so i hope i can get London without that one guy

you'll never know the world by looking through the safety glass

viewed, voted, commented, and re-steemed ...

anyone follows me i'll follow back within a few days

I wish you a lot of fun my dear, and I look forward to many great photos of you ...😃👍🏼

Happy Halloween my dear! Wow! these wonderful shots, it's my wish to visit England, i love it, enjoy your time with this great places, you write the recipe available upon request , which recipe? Hahaha

These photos are amazing. I feel like I'm right there as well! (Thanks!) It's funny how a photo of a building can just feel so * insert country here * but these definitely scream England. (At least, England as it's represented in media, since I've never been. lol)
Looking forward to the next post and more photos, to pretend I'm travelling too. ;)
