When I learned that I was going to be abroad on my 21ts birthday, the only thing I could think of that would make up for missing my 21st in the US was to go to Oktoberfest. Sadly, that didn't happen... it simply cost too much.
I don't have classes on Thursdays, and since it was my birthday I was not just going to sit around all day. I slept in of course but then I went to the Sherlock Holmes museum with two other girls while most everyone was at their internships.
(Me at 221b Baker Street, someone thought that the hat was a good idea, they lied! haha!)
Once we got back to Vandon, we got all dressed up and headed out for dinner! We went to a Mexican food restaurant called Wahaca near Covent Garden. It was very busy, but the food was good. Afterwards, we were on our way downtown! I really missed not being able to have my friends and family around on such a special birthday, but these girls were great and we made the best of it! (sorry for not having pics, I didn't have my camera so I am waiting to get them from the other girls with me)
Instead of going to Oktoberfest, Britanny, Lauren and I went to the Isle of Wight for an overnight trip. I love living in London, but it was so nice getting way from all of the hustle and bustle of a big city. We took a coach down to South Hampton and then a ferry to the island. The island was amazingly beautiful and I could not have asked for more perfect weather! We had a tour around the island, stopped at a few of the small towns there, and were on the beaches as much as possible! I even got a little sun! I guess I could say that this makes up for not being able to go to the beach at all this summer since I was at "nerd camp" at Penn State.

We had Saturday afternoon and evening to do what ever we wanted on the island. So the three of us went to the beach! It was probably about 5:00 and we were walking down the shore towards these beautiful white cliffs (first picture below). The beach looked like a family beach so we were just enjoying ourselves, but as we were getting nearer to the end of the beach we saw what looked to be like a girl wearing a skimpy bikini. We thought nothing of it and kept on walking, well a little while later we realized that we were wrong. It was a naked man! We were shocked at first, but then we quickly ran the other directly while laughing hysterically. It was just one of those silly little moments that I am sure I will always remember.
