Sunday, March 10th

We started off the day with a walk to the British Museum and I wish I would have checked the weather better because I decided to wear the worlds floppiest hat and needed to duct tape it to my head. Going to the museum I was amazed how big it was I had never seen anything quite like it. They had exhibits from all over the world and it was designed so beautifully. I was a little concerned however that so many of the people we had talked to had made joking comments that other countries have requested some of these pieces back to keep in their own museums but they were refusing to do so as they had rightfully taken it. I am not sure what the whole truth is in this situation but I would be interested into looking further into this. My favorite display was the one that had all of the medication that two individuals had taken within their lifetimes as it seemed unbelievable and unhealthy to have this much medication ever but the more I read into it the more realistic it seemed to be anyones life. After this I went with a group to the Camden Markets which were so cool because of all the unique little shops that they had and how diverse the selection of food and shopping was. This to me really shows the individuality of these people rather then grouping them together and defining them and their country as a whole. I really like to get to know the day to day life of the people in areas that I am visiting to see the uniqueness of them and their lives. After this we headed to Kensington which was honestly a little less elaborate then what I had expected but still gawk worthy as they had a ton of tributes to Princess Diana and a set of beautiful crowns. I ended the night with one of the best meals I have ever had at the Gordon Ramsey restaurant that we went to and finally got to sit down with my peers and talk about our day over a drink at the pub.
