Dear Diary,



Today was ama­zing! We spent the whole day in Lon­don, and we had so much fun see­ing all the sights.



First, we went to Por­to­bel­lo Mar­ket. You won’t be­lie­ve how many things they sell there—old books, je­wel­ry, vin­ta­ge clo­thes, and even some cool hats. I tried on a red top hat that made me feel like a ma­gi­ci­an! And I got to eat a chocolate-​covered chur­ro, which was so yummy.



After that, we vi­si­ted Co­vent Gar­den. It’s a big out­door shop­ping area with street per­for­mers ever­y­whe­re! We saw a man jugg­ling fire, and there was even a sta­tue that loo­ked like it was flo­a­ting in the air. I bought a tiny snow globe with a red Lon­don bus in­si­de to re­mem­ber it.



Fi­nal­ly, we went to Tower Bridge. We wal­ked across it and took lots of pho­tos of the river. You won’t be­lie­ve this, but we even wal­ked on glass floors way up above the road and river! It was a litt­le scary, but we had so much fun.



Today was one of the best days ever! I can’t wait to see more of Lon­don to­mor­row.



Good­night!
