This week I love:
Harry Potter - Which is, of course, obvious. But I am talking more specifically about the Harry Potter locations which I have visited. Platform 9 3/4, disappointing as it may have been, was worth going too. And I am in London, where Harry spends much time. And even if it doesn’t really count, Oxford was full of movie filming sights. I have stood on the same staircase the line them up for sorting on, I have walked through the Great Hall, gazed in on the Infirmary, and looked up at the owlery. This all makes me and my not-so-inner dork insanely gleeful. My heart gets all happy. You can see this plainly in my pictures.
Oxford - And not only because it is so beautiful to my Potter-nerd self. Nope. It is beautiful all on its own. The colleges are of course stunning (and I really, really, really want to go there), and the town is adorable. Plus, I had the most delicious chicken pesto panini. Like, I am hungry just thinking about it. Good school + fun town + yumyum food = I could so live there.
Stonehenge - Which I have already flailed about, but which still deserves mention. Things do not become one of The Seven Wonder of the Medieval World for nothing now, do they?
The Tube System - Because I have finally figured it out and it saves my feet. Plus, I still don’t like or clearly understand the bus system.
Thai food - I am about to go eat my leftovers from yesterday’s lunch. Excitement is me.
There are, of course, many other things I could list. But these are the creme of the crop, so they get the attention. One week left! I am looking forward to the remainder of my adventures, but I am also looking forward to seeing my family and friends for more than a week!
