Time of my life! o how it flies

Rainy- rainy- Cold day!
Whoo! Saturday was the best day ever!
First off there was no kitchen crew. . .
I got to sleep in as well 8:20 

We started our day with a walk
we saw the monument to the great fire and a Christopher Wren church
 Breakfast this morning was what ever we could find in borough market. 
what a fun colorful place!
I got to try turkish delight for the first time and who knows what else....
 And yes there were homemade gigantic pretzels! 

Later on our walk we got to see the harry potter bridge, the globe theater, and a bunch of other theaters. Walking with all of these kids is so fun. I love all of the Laughter and smiles shared between all of us. I am really loving all of the kids over here with me.
 I turned in my first assignment today! It was so great. We were to go through the Tate Modern in certain rooms and write about our favorite and lest favorite work of art.
What a great Building!? I really loved going through the galleries, however, the gallery i was most excited for was closed! I am definitely going back. . . 
 This is when Kelsey turned into "shirley, the tour guide" and was telling MaCall and then the rest of us about the "very, very extinct newts. . ."
We continued our lovely walk, in the pouring rain. But we were bright and cheery anyway

during our walks, we go so fast that I feel like we barely even see anything around us, let alone taking good pictures. 
but o well.

Our whole afternoon was left open to do what ever we wanted to do. I was so impressed and supriesd how well our group went through and around London. We have not been here that long and I am already feeling comfortable running around. 
Sadly I still do not know everyones names, but I am really trying to work hard on that.

I have no idea when I am going to fit in my homework, I can barely find time to do a blog. How did Rebecca and Brianna do it?

For dinner, a bunch of us kids when to Tuk Tuk Thai. While the food was great, the service was horrid.
There was a woman server there that really reminded us of one of the huns from Mulan. She yelled at Kelsey and would mutter things under her breath. not sure I am going back there again....
But i was not phased at all because just a few minutes later across the street from the London center I saw an r8. Yes there was the most atractive r8 ever parked right on our street. 
Sadly I did not have my camera and had no time to grab it because we were all on our way to the Avengers. . . 

yes I saw the best movie of the year a week early.
I am not going to say any more on the subject until all you Americans can see it

So yesterday. . .
We took a little trip to go see the Tower of London

It was quite an enjoyable trip. Half the time through the museums I would look around to see that I had been left behind and was alone. O well. I got to enjoy all the armor and such at my very own pace. 

after touring around the tower we all met up to walk the perimeter of the old city Londinium, the Roman city. It was quite good fun to see parts of the wall and to get a feel of where London started and how it has grown since. It is so crazy to look around and see buildings both old and new. the architecture over here is really just too much for me. 
Thank goodness I have such wonderful walking buddies to help me!


Our Walk ended at the Museum of London where we had to enter four people at a time because large groups are not allowed... ooops! 
It was actually a really good museum and I wish I had had the strength to fully enjoy it. . .
but there you have it.
having to join my usual ranks in Kitchen Crew I was not able to wander during our free time and rushed back to the Center with Kate. Once again, really impressed how well we get around.
the rest of the night we all spent down stairs in the center "trying" to get home work done. . . 
I dont think I will ever get any of my work done
