"I hope you can swim. If not, don't fly US Airways..."

Hey everybody! So yesterday was a MUCH better day than the one before. CAPA took all of us on a sight seeing bus tour which was AWESOME! Our tour guide was hysterical and really knew his facts. Think, what do you see when you hear the word "London?" Is it the Big Ben? Buckingham Palace? Tower Bridge? The Eye? Well, take all of those sites and more, and THAT'S what I saw on this tour. It was absolutely breath-taking. Now, we could only get off of the bus for the Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul's Cathedral. Oh, that was a beauty. Did you know that when London was bombed during WWII, everything around St. Paul's Cathedral was destroyed, excpet for the actual cathedral? They say it's a symbol of England's strength and pride, and in my opinion, one heck of a miracle. He also showed us where all of the celebrities live, where certain movies such as Notting Hill were filmed, and where the Royal Family like to party. Because we only got to stop for 15 minutes at these locations, Matt, Ryan and I decided we are going to go back sometime soon so we can spend more time there. Once I figure out how to post pictures on here, I'll put them up so you can see everything.

So later that night, the boys and I went into Picadilly Circus to hopefully meet up with some other CAPA students. However, we found out that they were heading to the Electric Birdcage, which is a club. After standing in line for some time, we were told that we were unable to enter the club because the boys has sneakers on and I was not wearing heels. Are you kidding me?! I wanted to tell that bouncer that HE should try walking around a city in heels...not fun. So after getting kicked out of line, we decided to find an American Sports Bar that we could go to tomorrow (which is actually today, Sunday) to watch the Eagles game. Fortunately, we found one right in Picadilly Circus, so we're extremely excited that we can still show and support our Philadelphia pride. Should be loads of fun. Well, I'm off to meet Matt at the station. We are going to find both of our internship sites today so that we can make our interviews tomorrow on time. LOL. Wish me luck!

PS: The title of this blog is a quote that our tour guide bus driver said as we were about to cross the Tower Bridge. Apparently the bridge can open from time to time and he was making a joke about us knowing how to swim, which then turned into a joke about the plane that landed on the Hudson River. Nice.
