So I've made it to London. Its really hot here, the first day it was 80. There's no humidity in Dublin so its weird being in London and sweating because of the heat. But then again its nice to know that summer exists somewhere. I like London a lot so far, I've done a lot of tourist stuff but then a few things that make me feel more like a normal person. Oh and the Tube is really really easy to use so that's a plus, and using it kicked me back into Chicago-EL usage. So what have I done so far exactly? The first day I did a bus tour where I fell asleep and got a really awkward tank top tan, ran around with my friend Harriet from Chicago and her mom and sister, and just walked around town. Harriet's mom was super nice, Harriet and her picked me up from the airport, fed me and drove me home and stuff . Moms are nice. Yesterday I ventured out on my own and did more bus tour which I fell asleep on again, went on the London Eye(I got to skip the 3 hour line somehow which was really nice), went to Westminster Abbey and then to the National Gallery, and the most exciting part of my day was joining the millions of girls and gay men at the Sex and the City movie premier. I was pretty far away and barely saw anything but I saw SJP. She was gorgeous and now I can't wait until I see the movie. But after that I got dinner at a cute Italian place and then saw the Joy Division film at a really cool theater. Really enjoyed the film and would recommend it to anyone interested in punk history or just documentaries.
So overall I've had an interesting and activity filled few days. Today is Tate Modern day and possibly the Tower of London, and if the weather stays nice I might go to Hyde Park and read or something relaxing and such. But I've been taking tons of pictures and will post a few here but otherwise you'll have to track me down to see all of them. London so far as surpassed my expectations and I am having a pretty good time here. I leave for Berlin really early thursday morning, but check in for more traveling bits.
My stalker/paparazzi pic of SJP.
SATC crowd. Tons of girls.
I'll Post more pictures to this post later. The interweb isn't letting me upload the rest of these pictures.

Great shot of SJP - they just showed some of the "red carpet" on the Today Show - how about that hat? Keep those pictures coming! Glad you're having a good time.
Be careful - love,
Mom
Your post reminds of that scene from Rules of Attraction -

Trying it again, and then I'll stop. Promise.

I'm so jealous you got to see SJP in her hat glory. Try and wait for me to see the movie. If not, it's ok. Also I'm so jealous you are going to Berlin. If you think about bringing me anything make it from Berlin. it's #1 on my places to visit in the next 5 years. miss you lots.
