Yesterday, we finally went to Abbey Road!!
This was definitely one of the biggest spots I wanted to go to during my
time here.
We started at the famous crosswalk that The Beatles
walked through. There is a live webcam of the cross that you can look at;
so we decided mid-morning would be the least crowded time to go. We went
through the crosswalk 2 at a time to try to dodge traffic and all of the other
tourists trying to make the walk, and it took us FOREVER. Everyone came
out in one piece, with only 2 cars and 1 bus honking at us, but we finally got
our pictures, which is all that matters!
Right near the crosswalk is Abbey Road Studios,
which was beautiful! Outside, visitors had signed bricks and walls with
Beatles lyrics, which was really cool to see. Unfortunately, we didn't
have any pens or markers, or we would have put our American stamp on the wall
:)
It’s really crazy how iconic everything is in that
area, and how many people across the world know that crosswalk to be a place of
such cross-cultural significance. It puts into perspective how large the "Beatlemania" effect was on the world as a whole.
We all wanted to head to Oxford Street, and on our
way, we saw a CHIPOTLE! I was so excited to see one of my favorite
restaurants, so we got off at the nearest stop and backtracked to an amazing
lunch. For the rest of the day, we spent some time shopping and looking
around Oxford St, which is always amazing.
We took the night off last night and looked up
information on our trip to Italy for spring break! I could not be more
excited to spend 10 days in such an amazing, beautiful place!
Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend!
