no pictures allowed inside, but the outside is a sight to see as well
This morning began with a visit to Westminster Abbey, which was, as with nearly everything else in London, beautiful. Our tour guide was very witty, and taught us a lot about the space. My favorite part was the space devoted to distinguished scientist such as Newton and Darwin.

During my free time following this, I made my first tube trip alone. It was a bit nerve wracking, but I made it exactly where I needed to be! I spent my time visiting the transportation museum, which was easily the most incredible museum I’ve ever been to. First off, the place was filled with even MORE British children. The museum really catered to people of all ages. Secondly, I learned more than I ever imagined. Following free time, half of our group met up to tour the firm Allies and Morrison. I loved the many models scattered throughout the firm.
something I never would have imagined I’d like
We then met back up for a group dinner at Wagamama. Being an extremely picky eater, I was really nervous about this. However, I really enjoyed the meal, and found something I really liked. Afterwards, we explored Chinatown for dessert! It’s been hard going without my fallback- chicken fingers and fries- but I’ve managed, and been forced to go a little out of my comfort zone doing so.
As my time ends here in London, I’m finding myself both excited and sad. I’m very homesick, but I’ve grown a bit attached to the routine I’ve developed over the past week. I’ll miss a lot of things, but I’m excited to get home as well. London has been an incredible introduction to what I hope to be many more adventures to come!
Although it seems scary at first taking the underground alone, we both know it’s really simple. I don’t know how many times I’ve done it now but I know I don’t have any problem with it. And I only went the wrong way once!
As for food, I know your quite picky and I agree with you, I was quite nervous about our group supper. When we were shown the menu originally class I was pretty skeptical, I didn’t know what anything was. But like you, I found something I really liked and loved the juice.
Becca, I agree with you about Westminster Abbey (and about everything else) being beautiful. I also really enjoyed the tour guide, but wish we were able to roam around more.
In regards to you visiting the Transportation Museum, it was really cool to witness your excitement and passion about the transportation system; literally every five seconds you’d say something like “Ugh I love the Tube its so cool!” I also really enjoyed the Tube and felt like an expert within a few days.
I also surprisingly liked Wagamama and am glad we got to experience something that we normally wouldn’t.
