The London Museum

Greetings! Today our group traveled to the London Museum. We met in front of Saint Paul's tube stop, which meant we had to get ourselves there. It was easy we caught the Piccadilly Line to the Central Line to St. Paul's. The Museum was great. Very small compared to what I thought the history of London would contain. The museum is adding on though. The museum consisted of a "London Before London" gallery, the Fire of 1666 gallery, a Rome Gallery, and a Medieval gallery. It was very interesting. We had two hours to explore and look about the whole museum, which I would like to add one more time that was pretty small. The part they are adding on is the time after the Fire of 1666 to the most present. I thoroughly enjoyed the museum and took the entire time to look through. I felt bad though b/c my flat mates were waiting on me, but I ended up not being the last one, just the second to last. After the museum we went to lunch at Pizza Express. It was nice food. It was right in the middle of the city so during lunch time when we ate it was full of business people from the area. We left there and came back to the flat to chill out for a bit, then we went to explore. Some of the girls wanted a phone so we went to find the place as well as anything other pit stops that came our way. The girls got some stamps at a post office, and a cupcake at a bakery. The bakery's here are amazing. I find something I want in every single one and that's when we don't even go in! The window displays are awesome. Me and my friend Ellie got a pastry on our way to the tube station this morning. It was awesome. It was called a King's cake aka warm flaky goodness. Those are a splurge item tho. 3 pounds 20 pence. Completely worth it. Once we made those pit stops, we found the cell phone place and then HARROD'S. Its the most outrageous department store ever. I was so scared to even touch anything. The dresses, the purses, the SHOES. It was all amazinggggg and quite pricey. Lets just say we didn't spend a great deal of time in there b/c there was too much want and not enough money. On our way back, we did find a Gap that was much more affordable and found plenty that I liked and could afford. I restrained myself though. Trying to do this thing called budgeting. It sucks sometimes. Just kidding. It was a straight shot back home. Once here, I feel into the temptation of nap, which was amazing. We meet up with some girls afterward and hung out for a while. It was a really good day. I enjoyed the museum so much and can't wait to go to another. Tomorrow is class at 2:30-4:30 and then shopping on Friday and Westminster Abbey on Saturday. I'm enjoying myself thoroughly and want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. They are much needed and appreciated!

More to come........
