Wow. I can't believe it's here. Tomorrow I leave for London! I have my commencement tonight and my flight tomorrow. It's really all happening quite quickly even though it didn't feel like it would 17 days ago. It's only the beginning though!
When you think of Paris, you think of the Eiffel Tower. When you think of London, you think of the clock tower and Big Ben. It's just a fact of life. Okay so if you've actually been to these places I suspect you may think of something different, but most of us live off what's on the shirts and bags and other merchandise they sell this side of the pond. I saved this one for the last day because it's the "iconic image" of London.
18/18: Elizabeth Tower / Big Ben & The Palace of Westminster / Houses of Parliament
While Big Ben is the name of the Bell, it's sometimes used as a nick name for the tower as well.
(If you see the London Eye in the background and wonder why on earth it wasn't on the countdown, just remember I like free things...)
Really, I could go on and on about the history of Westminster in general, but I'm content thinking about seeing it on Saturday <3
So, with that, I leave you! See you in London! (Or possibly the airport...)
