Monday I headed back into London for the day with the family I am staying with. We walked around for awhile just looking at all the stores and having a chill day. We eventually ended up going to Madame Tussauds. If you don't know what that is, its the famous wax museum that has actual-size wax figures of celebrities, athletes, musicians, world famous leaders etc. It was kinda expensive but I thought it was well worth it. I think I was most impressed by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jennifer Lopez. I had no idea that Arnold was as tall as he his and as for J.Lo, well I think its known what she is famous for. After that, we went to Buckingham Palace to see what the Queen was up to. We didn't see her. After the Palace the family headed home and I went to meet up with Sam, my Australian roommate from when I was in Valencia. He is working in London as an engineer for the 2012 Olympics. His project is the swimming pool and they literally just finished it. They began filling it up on Monday and it will take almost 3 weeks to completely fill it up. We had dinner at his apartment and then I had to head back because I had almost an hour train ride back to the house and I had to get up early for Tuesday.
