The Zaritsky's and Gina came to London!

Last week (right after spring break) my parents and sister came to visit!

On Sunday (the 4th)  We went out for dinner, then Mom, Dad and I went on the Jack the Ripper tour.  I never knew that these murders were so gruesome.  How can someone be so cruel, so indifferent?  Then we went for fish and chips and dessert, and let me say that it was some damn good dessert!

On Monday, we toured the Tower of London, which was pretty cool.  We got to see some armor, but most importantly, the crown jewels!  Very cool!

We saw a show that night, We Will Rock You.  Dad loved it, and the vocals really were strong and fantastic.  The plot.  Not so much.

Tuesday was their last day :( and since the three of them went to Stonehenge and Bath, we met up for dinner at The Queen's Arms, the pub that is not even a block from my flat.  It was a lovely evening and I was sad to see them go!

However, I was very grateful for the Girl Scout Cookies, Taskykakes, and various gifts that they brought!

Then, on Wednesday Gina F. came to visit!  She was staying in a hotel with her friend Jess, but we got to see each other a lot.  We met up that night for drinks, then on Thursday for dinner (I saw A Comedy of Errors with class, and Gina got tickets for We Will Rock You).  Her reaction to the show was pretty similar to mine.

I wanted to show Gina and Jess the bar/club that we usually go to, Arch Angel, but Jess unfortunately didn't have her ID with her.  Oh well, we still got to pre-game together!

On Saturday, we met up, with Jess, and Crazy For You.  I love those old time musicals!  And my oh my the dance numbers were awesome!  I got tired just watching them!

Gina left the next day, but I was so happy that she was able to visit!
