Day 3

I really want to put some pictures up, but our internet is awful! Still need to find a good internet cafe!

Last Night:
Last night we went to a pub (recommended to us by the twelve year old daughters of our professors). It is Bonnie Wright's (Ginny Weasley in Harry Potter) favorite pub. Apparently she is there all the time because she lives in the neighborhood right next to us. We got toffee pudding while we were there which was so good! It was a cake like food with dates in that was covered in toffee and chocolate. We ate it with ice cream, and Jaden and I pounded it in less than two minutes. They had some really amazing guitarist playing there also, so it was great entertainment as well!

Dish Crew:
Jaden and I are on dish crew till Sunday night, which makes dinner like a three to three and a half hour affair instead of just one hour. Let's just say we are so excited to be done...

Tower of London:
Today we went to the Tower of London which I have seen before, but I got to walk around different parts. We saw the white tower where we got to see all of the different armor. It was crazy! We got to try on a helmet and lift a sword and shoot an hour. I wonder what a battle in England must of looked like. First of all, you can't see a thing through the helmets. You can hardly walk in the armor, and you can hardly lift the swords. I bet everyone just looked so silly walking around swinging swords not able to see a thing! We also went to all the torture chambers which was sort of cool. They just showed us a bunch of stretchers and compressors (I had never heard of a compressor before).

Museum of London:
We went to the Museum of London which was a museum just about London's history. It was really neat to see the oldest things they had there all the way to things as recent as 2009. We saw tons of different clothes and jewelry and weapons and how things changed and progressed. I learned a lot about the Great Fire and the Black Death. I liked seeing the modern things as well because I have always thought of London as a city of the past. There are so many neat old buildings and so much history, but I never really think of it as people actually living there now. Next to the museum is the oldest piece of the London wall that the Romans built when they occupied London. It was incredible because it was so old! I think it dates back to 400 A.D.

Homework!!
I know it sounds silly, but for how much we are out and about I have no idea how I am going to do my homework. Plus it's really hard to be motivated here...

Preview for next week!
Next week we are seeing Matilda, Les Miserables, Twelfth Night, and Lion King! So excited!!!

More to come! Plus pictures soon...
