Taylor Swift In London

Monday night, after my class I was in my room roaming around on Facebook and on the Taylor Swift page, the status update said Taylor will be at Westfield Mall in London the following day and tickets are free! I was instantly excited! All  we had to do was be at the mall by 7am when they start handing out wristbands to see her perform later that night. I mentioned it to Beck and she said we should try to get a wristband. Free concert, right? So, I got up Tuesday morning at 5:30am with a grumble because it was all in the name of T-Sweezy. We got to the mall at 6:40 and were on our way out, wristbands on by 7:40. Totally worth it.
 Got my wristband on, invite in hand, red shirt to boot and ready to go to a concert.
 We went back to the mall around 3:30 and Taylor Swift came on a little after 6pm. So there was a couple hours of standing around that had to be done.


Look at all the peeps we hung out with. Beck and I were right in front by the stage.

I have some videos but blogger isn't letting me upload them. I'll keep trying. Taylor was there to light the Christmas lights in the mall and she sang 3 songs. 'We are never getting back together', 'Love Story' and 'Red'. There was fake snow and everything. 








 Sing it, girl!

The island of Delos

We visited the island of Delos, which is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece.
On the boat to the island.








 Biggest ant I ever saw!!!

 I spy a white snail.


 The Terrace of the Lions.

 Establishment of the Poseidoiasts.

 There use to be a lake here. That palm tree makes me happy.
 Sacred Way.
 Hanging out at the Temple of Isis.



 These steps lead to the highest point on the island. It takes about 15 minutes to hike up from the bottom.
 Almost there.

 Just a few more steps to go, but look at how far we came!
 Made it! At the top we had a picnic lunch and enjoyed the view.

 Just sitting on the edge of the world.
 Mosaics.
 We had to RUN to get back to the boat before it left. We barely made it!
 I hiked it all in my trusty flip-flops.


 Just hanging out with a pelican.


 Best OJ ever!


 This guy's name is Jonathan. He was the owner of the hotel that we stayed in. Such a nice guy, he gave us great advice and told us where to eat and what sites to see. When we left he said he was going to miss us. He had some great stories. On the first day, after we checked in, he took us to a local spot to eat and had lunch with us.
