The past few days have been filled with excitement and wonder. I was able to explore the London countryside with some friends and explore a very cool Zoomusement park (A mixed with an amusement park). We didn’t get to ride a lot of rides, but the one we did ride was decently fun, but it …

Seeing the Tower of London & My First Fringe Show!
It is my third day in The United Kingdom, and I went to go see the Tower of London. I’ve never seen the Tower of London before. I was expecting one large tower but instead, I saw a palace that was at least 1,000 years old. There were multiple buildings big and small that were …

I Did Not Trip at The Tower of London
The Tower of London was absolutely incredible. I am sure others will talk about the ever-impressive codpieces on the suits of armor so I will refrain from discussing that. I think that I spent more time having fun with my friends than I did letting the history of the tower absorb into me. It is …
So London Does Get Sunlight…
Three days in, and guess who got sunburnt… in England. I didn’t think that was a possibility, but apparently it is lol. Today we went and saw Buckingham Palace briefly before a group of us walked down to an area where there were multiple flower displays outside of businesses. After that, we walked aimlessly for …
Horse in a Castle
Yesterday we got to visit the Tower of London, which has been my favorite stop on our trip so far. We had just over two hours to spend in the castle, so rather than spending a large chunk of the time waiting in line to see the Crown Jewels, I decided to go with the …
5/26: I hate writing blogs with no internet.

Before I go too deep, I must make it clear that the Tower of London isn’t a tower, it’s a small, medieval village with a couple of towers within its walls. Nevertheless, …

I met more birds at the Tower of London :-)
By Brittaney Mann Yesterday we visited the Tower of London, and I was very excited when I saw the ravens when we entered deeper into the tower — also feeling guilty that they’re trapped in cages to ensure the monarch does not fall. I share a birthday with Edgar Allen Poe, so it was a …

5/26: The Tower of London and Armour with a Bulge
I learned a lot about British Culture regarding ancient armors and weapons during my Alex Ahuja-guided tour of the Tower of London. Unfortunately, due to the line which stretched down to the entrance of the compound, we were unable to see the Crown Jewels (which was fine by me, as I had already seen them …

I Fell Asleep and I am Sorry.
The other day we had the opportunity to see the play Dancing at Lughnasa at The National Theatre. I… did not care for it. I think the set of the show was absolutely fantastic but the writing was uuuh I did not care for it. The stage was like a small world and I was …
Going Climbing at The National
The first show we saw on our theatre tour of England was Dancing at Lughnasa, a play by Brian Friel produced at the Royal National Theatre. But before we got to see the show we had to make it to the theatre, and the walk there was a lot of fun. We took the underground …
