A Day In London / Comic-Con

I spent this past Sunday in London at comic-con and checking out the general area. It was fun I truly enjoyed spending a day away from my dorm and checking out the London air. First comic-con, it was amazing we went on the last day and go there right in time to check out some pretty cool costumes. I am not really the gamer type nor the comic-con type really but I loved going there. My only regret is not dressing up. There were so many cool things being represented everything from the classic batman to the more recent and amazing adventure time. I was overwhelmed with the whole experience. As for the London experience I got the opportunity to take a picture of Big Ben. I didn't get to see the whole of London because the place is so big but I did enjoy just moseying around and riding the London tube. It was so many people out a country girl like me almost didn't know what to do. Overall the trip was amazing its not everyday that I will be able to jump up and spend a day in London especially during comic-con. I am so blessed and fortunate to have these type of opportunities available to me! Lesson Learned here …always make the best out of the situation you are give and don’t be afraid to be spontaneous. Oh yea and next time don’t where heels lol. 

Swansea Beach!

            Soo to day was a pretty chill day. I didn’t have any classes so I decided to go to the beach and get a work out in. the weather here is surprisingly warm. It’s been mid 60’s for some while here despite the new post I read from a fellow housemate saying that this winter would be one of the worst Britain has ever seen. It’s funny when I first got here I was dreading the cold weather now im actually looking forward to it. I haven’t updated my blog in a while so I thought I would take the time to give and up close and personal view of how I use the beach. Funny thing is that im really not a beach person. I don’t like getting in the water (scared of fishes and seaweed in my toes) and the sand can be a bother to clean off. On the contrary, if you are going to work out the beach is one of the best places to go. The sand is good for running because it doesn’t put as much pressure on your joints as would running on concrete. Here are some pictures from today’s journey at the beach! 

The Roman Baths

          Recently I found myself traveling back into time. I went to visit the Roman Baths tourist attraction in England! The trip was a long on the site took about two and a half hours with heavy traffic. I slept very well. The journey was all worth it when we got to the baths I felt like I was in the movie “The Bible” or 300 I couldn’t help but want to yell out “This is Sparta”  luckily I managed to save myself the embarrassment. The sights were eventful I even loved how crowed the streets were it was like living in a fantasy for a min I couldn’t believe where I was at. It was also very romantic great spot to go with the significant other. There were great places to eat. I stopped at an amazing gelato store and enjoyed some wonderful peanut butter gelato! 

If you are a shopper like me these streets are for you.  I admired the eclectic variety of shops that were available. (Sigh) if only I had more money to throw away I would of spent all day in these stores.  I did purchase a few items though!   Look at all these stores I would have been there all weekend trying to take pictures of all of them!

 The traffic on the way home was crazy before the tolls after wards we were pretty smooth sailing!
