10) Perosnal Excursions

Wow what a wonderful 21st birthday weekend spent in London with my family! We had so much fun traveling around London with my family friends and staying in his flat. I arrived in London at 8:00AM in the morning and toured his flat while waiting around for more of his friends to show up. Our family friend name is Adrian and it was his birthday the day I arrived so the whole weekend we were celebrating each other’s birthday.
The first night I was there we ate next to the river and went to a play afterwards called Billy Elliot. Billy Elliot was a play about a boy wanting to be a dancer but lived in a mining town where it would never be accepted. After the show we went to a nice Irish pub and had drinks to celebrate Adrian’s birthday. Adrian is originally from Ireland but is teaching dance in London.  
               The next morning we woke up and walked next to the river until lunch time. For lunch we had afternoon tea at a place called Savoy which is a really nice old hotel. However, Adrian was ready to go to do his birthday shopping at D & G and Louis Vuitton. This was the first time I had ever got to go with someone to these kinds of shops. The shops closed in two hours so he was sprinting around the stores saying I want these and that. At the Louis Vuitton shop we got to sit in there private shopping room. Adrian must go there a lot because they all knew who he was and had a birthday cake and champagne waiting for all of us in the room. That night we ate at a salsa dance restaurant and dance the night away after we ate.

Sunday was my birthday and we had a great private room at an Indian restaurant called Amaya. Everyone surprised me with a birthday cake from the Savoy and gave me birthday cards. That night we all went to a restaurant called the blue bird which was where they built the fastest car in the world in the 1980’s. All and all the weekend flew bye but was well worth the hours of traveling.
