Day 6 was really nice. We went to the Temple Church, Middle Temple, and Sir John Soane’s house. I enjoyed the Lincoln Park Fields because it was so peaceful in the middle of the city. I also liked that there was such spectacular places all surrounding the Lincoln Park Fields. The drawings seemed confusing at first but after starting the drawings I enjoyed that part of it. I liked the way my section came out better than my figure/ground. I also enjoyed the fact that we were able to have such amazing free time after that. I wish we had more free time but I understand that that can’t always happen.
Trace surprised me and took me to the Harry Potter Museum which was one of the best experiences I have had. I smiled so much my cheeks hurt. He knew how much I wanted to go but the tickets were sold out for our free day so he decided to get tickets for yesterday. I loved it so much! I would say that that was our Museum of choice and although it wasn’t an architectural museum like Tate Modern or the British Museum but it was spectacular. I loved that there were the real costumes and all the sets! I got to take a picture with the 9 3/4 station. I loved that I got to sit in the flying car and I got to see all these amazing props. It didn’t seem real but it was seriously spectacular.
Day 7 was pretty simple and sweet. We started the day off with the Westminster Abbey and yet again my perspective and scale was off. I assumed it was huge when it was only big. I thought Westminster Abbey had a bigger ceiling space than St. Pauls and I would have to disagree completely with that statement I had before. I liked Westminster Abbey but I didn’t enjoy the tour guide that much. He was fabulous at his job and I liked what he told me but I wanted to explore it more and read certain plaques. Besides that the Westminster Abbey was really nice. I wanted to sketch the front facade more but I really couldn’t figure out how to warm my fingers up and we only had a small amount of time to do the sketch.
After Westminster Abbey I went to Allies and Morrison. I LOVED it so much! The models were fantastic and I am so glad I went into this major. I love what I do and I can’t wait to get to that level. The models were fabulous and all the different materials used were so fantastic. I loved the tour so much!
