Okay, I'm going to try to be a little bit better about today. And I have pictures issues, so that's where Facebook is going to come in. They're all on there.
Anyway, we went to the British Museum today, which made me really really want to watch The Mummy Returns. But that's beside the point. We saw the coolest things, and we didn't even get to most of the museum! I saw the Rosetta Stone, ancient Greek statues and urns, mummies, and so many old English things that were just amazing! Oh, and a giant sword, which was probably one of my favorites. I have to go back so I can try to see the rest.
After that, we crossed the Millenium Bridge. For those of you who don't know, that is the bridge that the Death Eaters collapse in the beginning of the Half-blood Prince. Anyway, that was awesome, but not quite as cool as the Globe. We saw All's Well That Ends Well, which was a completely new play for me. It was pretty much hilarious, and exceptionally cool because we were groundlings and I was literally resting my arms on the stage. However, two and a half hours of standing is not fun.
I did try fish and chips, though I didn't buy my own batch. I'm still not a fish person, but I can now say that I've tried it. We killed two birds with one stone for this meal, because we had both fish and chips and ate in a pub, which was fun. The dining hall was upstairs, so it was really quiet. But it was fun.
We went to Chinatown again (before dinner, actually) to buy some awesome scarves that were super cheap, and wandered around for a little bit before coming back to the college, where we saw a bunch of sleeping ducks.
And I can't forget mentioning the massive amount of chocolate that I just bought. And it's delicious chocolate.
And, once again, we managed to navigate the Tube like pros.
At least I'm more awake today...
