Today was the day that we visited art museum number two, the National Gallery. Unlike the Tate Modern, the National Gallery was less about art that made you think and was instead more about the art that keeps you looking. There were no puzzles or riddles to be deciphered, every piece of art was at …

Second Van Gogh Painting of the Year
Long Title…but yesterday we went to the National Gallery. Upon entering I was sort of dreading it. I just don’t think art museums are my favorite to go to, but I will say I soon got excited. When I entered I saw many boring portraits and then decided to search up what famous painting were …
National Gallery
Yesterday we went to the National Gallery, honestly I have realized that I really don’t like going to any kind of museum. I just don’t have the attention span and I don’t want to stand there all day and analyze each and every picture I find that they all start to look the same after …
Once on this Island
Last night we saw the musical Once on this Island at the open air theatre in Regents Park. I think that an open air theatre is a really creative idea and I really enjoyed being outside in nature where you never know what might happen. Weather, animals, or the environment around the theatre. I liked …

Strawberry State of Mind
Yesterday we headed to Borough Market after the sky gardens. I was so excited because my whole for you page on Tik Tok has been this market. When we got off the train we were greeted by the entrance. Upon walking there were so many food options and tons of people. A couple of us …
I Branched Out At Borough Market
Borough Market is flooded with vendors selling various kinds of foods, fashions, and flowers. It is the most famous market in all of London and our group of students had the opportunity to check it out yesterday! While the market is wonderful and I have no bad things to say about it, my experience there …
A Berry Wander
Rolling back the tape of this trip, I want to talk about my solo river walk across the Thames. On Sunday, May 28, I began my free day with some fluffy Japanese pancakes from a restaurant just a couple streets up from my accommodations. Then for the main activity of the day, I took the …
Borough Market!
I love the energy in London Markets and wish we had more of them in America. Being able to wander around with a group and all get something unique is perfect. There is so much to see and you get to experience so many different cultures through foods and goods. Nick, Alex, and I tried …
