Ever since we were 7 when we were running around outside together, eating cheez its and playing games, we have been in each others lives. When I learned that I was going to be studying abroad while she is studying in Spain for 10 months, I knew we had to get together some time over these four months that I'm living in Europe.
Her first night here we traveled over to Piccadilly Circus where we chowed down on Thai food and caught each other up on our lives. I can't express how comforting it was to have an old friend visiting me in London. I couldn't get it out of my head that Jill was in front of me. I never in a million years would have thought that we would be dining in London together in our 20's. Crazy!
We went to Tate Britain, where I literally had my own personal tour guide. Her knowledge on art is incredible and she actually knew what she was talking about. It was interesting to hear her perspective on certain pieces because she has such a passion for art history, which truly showed.
We walked all around London. Tralfalgar Square, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Shoreditch…. we walked miles. What I love about this weekend is that I don't think there was an hour where we didn't think about food. On her last night we ate Indian food, then 2 hours later we ate Cinnabon followed by potato wedges and pizza.
For as long as we have not seen each other, everything was just like it used to be. We have obviously been keeping in touch since and THANK GOD because she gives the best movie suggestions. So on that note, if you haven't watched A Single Man, Submarine or The Virgin Suicides…get on it, and they're all on Netflix. So, Jill, thanks again for a bomb weekend, having me constantly laughing and teaching me more about pieces of art than the actual artists probably know themselves.
