London update

We have done so much I'm exhausted just looking at the blinking text line. Since uploading pictures takes a long time and I'm about to go to bed, I'll at least give you an idea of what we have seen and done in the past two days:

Thursday:

- took the Underground for the first time

- Tower of London

- St. Paul's Cathedral

- the Millennium Bridge (that gets destroyed in Harry Potter!)

- the outside of the Tate Modern

- the outside of the Globe Theatre

- walked the majority of the Thames path

- ate Italian food for the second night in a row

- collapsed from sheer exhaustion

Today:

- British Museum (Rosetta Stone!)

- National Gallery (in Trafalgar Square) (we saw Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Monet's The Water-Lily Pond among many others)

- ate Italian food for the third night in a row

- Piccadilly Circus (where Harry, Ron, and Hermione almost get hit by a bus!)

My tired and sore feet and legs will attest to the miles walked here in London. It rained most of today so we took taxis, to the great relief of my feet. But two museums in one day is pretty exhausting, even if you're only looking at old things.

Tomorrow we head off to Oxford, where a prestigious University awaits us, as well as the library used to film the Hogwart's library and infirmary. No big deal. (asldkgh;alsh;lkht;aj;!!!!1!!!1!!11!!)

And just so this post isn't completely devoid of photography, I leave you with a guard in a fuzzy hat, in the Tower of London. Iconic, isn't it?
