Chocolate, la Navidad, pueblos pequenos, y mi mejor amiga

---

Hola a todos. Estoy en Londres ahora y me encanta. Llegue el viernes y Paul me cogio en el aeropuerto. Cogimos el tren a Victoria Station (el centro de Londres) y fuimos a tomar cafe. Hace mucho frio y todo ya esta de Navidad en Londres. Despues caminamor por la ciudad un poco y vimos algunas iglesias y el reloj de Big Ben. Londres es un lugar muy hermoso. Quedabamos con Meg al hotel y fuimos a comer en un restaurante Italiano antes del espectaculo de "Wicked." El espectaculo era buenisimo, especialmente Idina Menzel. Estoy muy animada y feliz que podia ver el espectaculo con ella, el original personaje de Elphaba en Broadway. Meg y yo volvimos a Oxford en autobus despues de "Wicked." Ayer caminamos por todo el Centro Ciudad de Oxford. Me encanta Oxford, y queria vivir aqui en vez de Madrid. Oxford es pequeno y tiene el sentido de un "down town." Fumios de compras, comimos helado, tomamos cafe en un lugar que se llama Coffe Republic, fuimos al Mercado Cubierto, y por la noche fuimos a ver un espectaculo de fireworks y un bonfire enorme. Me encanta todo de Oxford.

English: Hello to you all. I am in London right now and I love it. I arrived on Friday and Paul picked me up from the airport. We took t he train into Victoria Station (the very center of London) and went for coffee. It is freezing here and everything is already Christmasy. After coffee we walked around the city for a while seeing a few churches and the Big Ben. London is really a beautiful place. We met Meg at the hotel and went to an Italian restaurant before seeing "Wicked" in the Apollo Victoria Theater. Being in the same city with your best friend is fabulous; and we're not only in the same city, but we're in the same city outside of the U.S. "Wicked" was spectacular, especially with Idina Menzel, the original Broadway role of Elphaba. I am really excited that I got to see the show with her in it. Yesterday we walked around the City Center of Oxford all day. I love Oxford, and I would love to live here instead of Madrid. Oxford has that small, down town feel to it. We went shopping, ate icecream, drank coffee in a place called the Coffee Republic, went to the Covered Market, ate the best chocolate ever, and last night we went to a huge fireworks show and there was the biggest bonfire I've ever seen. I love everything about Oxford.
