My impressions of stratford are good I would say.  It is less loud than London, which is very nice. It still has quite a lot of people during its busy times. There are certainly a lot of restaurants for such a small town, this is definitely because it is a tourist town.  The trip was …

I was unable to attend the group on their journey to Bath. I was still very sick as I had only first started having symptoms 5 days before. This bummed me out immensely because visiting the Roman Baths was one of my top things that I was excited to do. So needless to say, I …

Leah and I visited the Victoria Albert museum a couple days before the group today. This was because we met up with her childhood best friend and she was kind enough to pay for our tickets for the Fashioning Masculinities exhibit. It was a great exhibit which challenged the idea of modern masculinity and the …

The Great Gatsby experience was something that I will never forget. To find his location it was down an alley and it didn’t have a large sign to show where it was. In fact we walked almost by it, but we saw a gentleman dressed up in a 1900’s suit who asked us if we …

Westminster Abbey is a large Chapel that is ornately decorated with details that both pop out and hide in the massively exquisite texturing of the building itself. Its tall spires reach for the heavens while enormous stained glass windows let light into rooms large enough to fit a thousand people. The ceiling in particular was …

Focusing on one food experience is something I could do, but instead I would love to give a general overview of the cuisine I have been able to eat. Before I left for Europe I remember wanting to try fish and chips in America so that I could see and compare to the pub food …

My walk of the National Gallery was a bit short for reasons I will get into later. I chose two portraits of the Crucifixion of Christ.  In the first portrait we see a close up on Christ’s face as he is carrying the cross. Interesting things to note about this painting is the black background. …

Today was the day we got to check out the Tate Museum Of Modern Art. I am not a huge fan of Modern Art in general. I think this is due to the fact my exposure to modern art has been limited in scope. Most of what I have seen is on the internet being …
