Day 36-England, London

London is so cool. I'm still astounded at how much I love the places we go. Actually it shouldn't be that surprising to me since I love traveling, but it still hits me every time we arrive in a new country. I cannot tell you how weird it is to be in an English speaking country, though. I've gotten pretty used to foreign languages and dealing with a language barrier, but this will make for a nice break :)

So exciting news...I finally got my passport stamped! And it happened twice. Finally there's evidence I've been where I claim to be ;) Traveling today took about half the day (we took the Chunnel to England) but I was able to finish all my homework during the relaxing ride so I'm officially done with the term!

My second to last day was spent enjoying Westminster Abbey where so many famous people are buried (Mary Queen of Scotts, her enemy and half sister Elizabeth I, a lot of other kings and queens, and randomly Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton) and where Prince William and now Princess Kate were married recently...Awww :) It was really cool. We also went to the National Gallery and the musical Sweeney Todd where you'll never guess who played the pie shop owner...Professor Umbridge! She was sooo good, it was unbelievable. The musical was interesting. I'll leave it at that. Such an awesome first day in the UK. Cheerio!
