Once again after a three hour English class- we were sent free to do as we wished! 
We MaCall, Kate, Kelsey, Kennedy and I were not going to let this go to waste!
We started our day with a lovely walk which lead us around to the British Library 
So much cooler then you would ever think it to be! We had such a great time in there. There were so many books and so many treasures. we were able to see the Magna Carta, Gutenberg Bible, Da Vinci math and architecture notes, Shakespeare's folio, Handel and beethoven, Jane Austen;s notebook and writing desk, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, The Beatles original lyrics, and two pieces of St. Johns Gospel. . . just to name a few

We continued our walk just right next door to St Pancras. . . and just about fell over from the power of the beauty of the building. . .
And then right next door to St Pancras was King's Cross. . . 
Sadly we missed the Hogwarts Express. 

At the end of our walk we saw a little type of outdoor mall where we went to Nandos. Quite good, quite good.We then took the tube down a bit and came out to find little St James. To be honest it was a really fun part of town I thought. We followed past St James to find ourselves in front of 
Buckingham Palace. And what a fitting place for the Queen to live. We spent a lot of time here just sitting and enjoying the life in London.  
Everything about London is Big and Impressive! 



 Soon we found ourselves wandering around, and we wandered right into St James Park. This by far has been my favorite Park or Garden yet. I think I could live in this park. It was such a beautiful wilderness.





If all of this was not enough, we stumbled upon Whitehall, which is now one of my favorite streets in London. Every building was elegant and important. I got to see the Banqueting House which really is one of the most visually pleasing buildings in London. 


To finish off such an incredible day we all went to a convenient store, got candy, went to The Champion to eat our candy/ desert. . . and now we all get to do our homework!!! Wahoooo! But no worries, after checking off over 6 things off my list, tomorrow is another freeday!
