The last two days have allowed me to see every inch of London I believe. My feet are sore but my mind is completely full.
Yesterday’s journey began at the point of London that marks the starting of the great fire. This is where we met our wonderful guide who loved London more than anyone could. The massive column that marks the site was incredible with beautiful carved stone stories on the base which he explained to us in detail.
The rest of the day was a wonderful but very long (12 miles) walking tour around all of London. Some of the incredible sites we saw were the tower bridge, London tower, the “egg”, Buckingham palace, all the way to a wonderful Zaha Hadid building in Hyde park.
This morning we began at the British museum which left me in awe. The expansive interior spaces housing the most beautiful collections of history really reminded me of the magnitude of the space I was standing inside. The juxtaposition of these artifacts from around the world here in Britian did make me feel sad though, realizing so many cultures had their history taken from them and displayed here for the British public. I wonder if it would have changed if they were just exhibitions soon returning to their respective homes. Alas this is not the case and I was still impressed.
The day ended in greenwrich which was by far my favorite part of the entire trip thus far having seen the queens house and sailors dining hall which both were what I believe was the spirit of London to me. Lastly we had an incredible group supper at Jamie Oliver’s and rode the dlr home. I’m exhausted fulfilled and thrilled to see where London will take me next. Now time for bed. Goodnight all! 
Zach! I completely agree that the day was full of wonderful moments. I hope we will look back impressed at our walking capability. Like “DANG, we could take on a few marathons.” I was so impressed with our group and your leadership to make sure no squirrel got left behind. Also, I enjoyed your insight on the ceilings and the use of the line that made it softer in the British Museum. You always seem to find beauty in the details I miss and I appreciate that more than you know. From our dining experience, I feel quite confident that you are a trustworthy person to share meals with as well. I am so glad we ate at Jamie’s! Cheers to making the stay be as fun as our trip there! Not sure how the rest of your grandpa’s quote goes but I hope we can achieve such a feat!
