Football!

Today was more of a lazy day. Last night was rough trying to sleep, so I ended up staying in during the morning. I did some laundry and just listened to some music and enjoyed some alone time which is hard to come by here in the Centre. 

Around 2:00, Diana, Danny, Dillon, Elizabeth S. Elizabeth D. and I headed out to the football game! It sure was an adventure to get there. A very long tube ride and a little walk but we got there just fine!

We had "standing" tickets and it took us a while to get settled after we got there. We met some funny kids and people. They really don't think the "f" word is that bad here. Some 15 year old kid we talked to was dropping it right and left. AH! It was fun to see some guys that could actually handle a ball! When we play soccer here, we all look so stupid because none of us can control the ball at all, so it was fun to see. There were some awesome goals and fun plays! 

It was interesting how quiet the game was. People were mostly just chatting and clapping, not a lot of cheering which was, well, just quieter than I'm used to.

After the game, we headed off to this pub that is famous for its chocolate cake in Diana's opinion. We ended up running into some other kids from the BYU group. So random! haha! But we all got some food and cake! So GOOD! That chocolate was just what I needed! We still aren't sure if there was alcohol included or not. haha But it was super fun! Danny, Dillon, Diana and I totally bonded. So great! Love those kids! I really like all the kids in our group! We're thinking of making a co-ed intramural soccer team when we get back! :)

London is great! We leave for Scotland super early Monday morning and I'm not taking my computer, so I won't be posting for about 5 days. But I love you all! See you in 24 days!
