Monday 19th

Ya ya, whatever Laura. Its not my fault that I have been having trouble getting online this weekend. Anyways The Tower of London was awesome! My presentation with Shannon on the Ravens went very well. The Ravens are the most well kept animals outside of a zoo I have ever seen. I mean they have their own kitchen! The legend goes that if the Ravens ever leave the White tower will fall, the monarch will fail, and a horrible disaster will befall london. They clip the wings of these seven ravens to ensure that never happens. Just remember don't touch them, their not nice pets but rather nasty little buggers.
We ended up staying about six hours just exploring, taking pictures, and just soaking it all in. We took a tour with a beefeater/yeoman and he made the history of the place come alive. Not to mention he was totally funny and had all of us laughing. I have to say that my favorite part was seeing the crown jewels. It totally blew my mind that I was just a sheet of glass away from such wealth. It was like a dream, the crowns and scepters were magnificent and unlike anything you can imagine. So sorry though I have no pictures of the brilliant jewels. We weren't allowed to photograph them but I got really great post cards of my favorite pieces. To end a great day we found a Ben and Jerry's and I had a little taste of home with Chunky Monkey.
Today I had school and then we went to the British Museum and I got to see amazing exhibits. On this visit we focused on Egyptian, the Pantheon, and Greek & Roman Sculptures. I was in heaven looking at all that classical art (my favorite time period!). Cameras been messing up so I hope that all my pictures will come out. I'm still trying to figure out how to transfer my picts to the computer, so bear with me. Soon you will have pictures to go to the stories.
Well got to finish reading Moll Flanders, will update soon with more stories of my London Experience. Tons of Love!
