Underground Overjoyed

My first impression of London was lovely. The architecture layout and history of the buildings means everywhere I go is a joy to look at. The layout of the city is amazing and its fascinating to see how no matter where you are there’s always something close for you to do, whether that’s an art exhibit or a peculiar book shop. My first impressions of the Tube system was amazement at how easy and convenient it was. Everything about the underground in London blows my mind that this kind of thing isn’t in every city as it makes travel to anywhere a joy rather than a burden. While it may look complicated it’s really laid out so that anyone regardless of experience would be able to use it. We took the Tube to Saint Paul’s cathedral today and it was a historically beautiful structure. The architecture, history and symbology demonstrated within its stone walls were a marvel to behold. I climbed to the top despite my fear of heights and got a stupendous view of London that was just breathtaking. Though I will say by the end of the climb down my legs were shaking and my knees felt as though they would fail me if I stood still too long. We have already traveled so much that my feet feel like they’re about to give out but the joy of exploring this wondrous city was worth every second. We also recently saw Agatha Christie’s MouseTrap and it was an exemplary play. I was laughing through the whole of it and though I won’t give it away I was thoroughly surprised by the ending. We also saw the boys from the blackstuff and that play was so moving it really touched on relevant issues in today’s world and as I was watching it I couldn’t help but wish that the University could do a shop such as this.
