alright, so yesterday at the museum Martin told us that we should check out rooms 41, 50, and 49. And so I did, some of it was cool, but I'm not keen on old money. the statues and swords amaze me the most. Just... because I can imagine, and at the same time cant believe, that people actually touched them, used them, and such. But then I had to pee! and so I tried to find a toilet, but I couldnt find one at all. So I was running around, but then I ran into the egyptian room and was like... AHHHHH this is beautiful, I have to peE!!!!! but it all worked out. found a toilet, got food, met up with people.
Then we met up with everyone, and went on a walk and passed this beautiful old building. well, many, but one in particular.
Then we went on a boat ride down the Thames, passed through and by monuments. Then we went to..... the tower of london!!!!! woo!
First we checked out the white tower, which is what the romans built. It had a bunch of artillery stuff in it. Not my favorite. Then I went over to the Jewel house, saw the crown jewels! woot. Diamonds and such galore. The jewels themselves are pretty, but honestly, the crowns are a bit gaudy for my tastes. Can't take pictures in there. Thirdly I checked out the bloody tower, because i thought it whas where the torture stuff was, it wasn't. It was where sir walter raliegh was kept, and the twins Charles and Richard... or something. Then I went over to the tower where people were kept in isolation of whatever. creepy, scary, old, cool. There were these pieces of the wall marked on and dug out, 15th C graffiti! yay!
then Sara, Alice, Sara's friend bethany and I went and linked up with...... STEVIE!!!! she met us at baker street. We went out for italian, and then Stevie, myself, and Alice went to a hookah Bar! It was good fun. Stevie caught us up on all the english slang. It was well good.
So then today we were planning to get up early and go shopping. We didn't leave until 1:30. That's alright though. none of us got boots, which was why we went shopping in the first place. BUT I got my phone. I spent 44 pounds on the whole mobile thing, which is expensive yes, but the cheapest phone was ugly, and I didn't want a phone I hated looking at. So My phone is pink! I also got a straightener for UNDER TEN POUNDS! and shampoo, and multi vitamins, a snack bar and.... cadbury eggs! It's england, so they have those year round.
We just stayed in tonight, and watched ONCE. My host family has "Serenity"!!!! I freaked out when I found out. I have to figure out where I want to travel to. I HAVE to go to Ireland, and I think I should probably go to stonehenge. I would like to go to germany and greece or rome.
I have to see waiting for Godot, Spring awakening, And I would like to see The Lion King. TOmorrow, I want to go to church at westminster Abbey. How amazing would that be???
