London by Alex Ghoja

We arrived in London by train from Stanmore to Green Park. As we mosied our way out of the station, we came upon such an enormous resurrected structure that blocked any possible sunlight from reaching us, Big Ben. After taking many photos of this great architectural wonder, we proceeded toward the House of Parliament. After seeing the gigantic line at the house of parliament, we settled for taking pictures with the eloquently dressed, top-hatted security guards. Not wasting any of our precious time, we steadfastly moved toward the London Eye (aka Giant Ferris Wheel). Overlooking a river in London, the London Eye is a great place to view one of the most historic and cherished cities of all time. To stay in tune with our fashionable senses, we ventured to Oxford Street. On Oxford Street, we shopped until our hearts were content and our pockets were empty and we took away our piece of London. Having some energy left to carry on forward, we jaunted over to Buckingham Palace. Though Americans will never understand what living in a monarchical society is about, it is evident that the British have lived in harmony with one for centuries and Buckingham Palace is a true testament of time. Feeling a bit claustrophobic, we headed towards the nearby park to get some fresh air. At the park we saw an extraordinary amount of people, some that lived there and some that didn't. Never have I ever seen such friendly squirrels and though it was time consuming, my time with the squirrels will never be forgotten. After contributing some welfare to the squirrels, it was time to contribute to myself. We scurried over towards the closest restaurant to have a taste of London cuisine. Not to spoil ourselves, we settled for a British favorite "fish and chips" and quenched our thirst. Feeling rejuvenated and energetic, we whisked our way toward the streets of London. Shortly after time was coming to an end and we had to meet at the station. Arriving at the station, I reminisced about my journey to London. Just being in the city where William Shakespeare once resided had a profound impact on my outlook of life. Though many people look to Shakespeare's work as marvels, I aspire to have people visit my culture in America and marvel over my blog.
