Halloween

So I think that this was the best Halloween I've had in my grown up life. They don't really do trick-or-treating here. It's basically an excuse to have a fancy dress party (costume party), which the English in these parts love to do. So my friends Lauren, Libby, and I went to the Cathedral for a "Haunted Walk". They told us stories of witches and ghosts and hauntings, ooh murders and prison breaks too. It was was a lot of fun. Freezing, but fun. The lady that gave us our tour was great. She was probably in her 60s and she was so into it. She would tell the stories with fervor and make big gestures, which the English don't do. She was the sweetest thing ever. We had to cross the street and she made sure we knew which way to look and that we all got across safely. She even forgot where the touching stone was. The other lady that was with us was like "it's where it has always been." Cute moment. So we all had to go back and tourch the touching stone. I would love to have a tour with her again. Maybe next year. Then my friends and I went to Pizza Express where I had one of the best pizzas ever! It was a vegetarian pizza with black olives, red peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, and artichokes. So good. Oh, and pesto. The only bad thing was that Libby is sick. She probably shouldn't have come out with us in the cold. She started to get really weak, sore, and had chills a lot. She couldn't stop shaking. She took a cab home. Lauren and I went to Harry's Bar and Grill. Two people in our course work there. Jeremy made us some Irish coffees. It was really good. Nice and hot to warm us up. Lauren and I are going to make Libby a care package tomorrow and give it to her to help her out. So besides Libby being sick it was a great Halloween.
