My first week in London was as amazing as expected! The city is huge, a lot bigger than I would have thought. But they use public transportation here so it is easy to get around the city quickly by bus, underground, or train. I feel by the end of this trip I will be an expert at public transport. It is hot here, much hotter than a London summer normally is. I love it because it lets us all explore the city without worrying about rain.
This is a city street in London near where I am staying. I love how the flats are built over stores on ground level.
One of my first meals out I had to get London’s famous fish, chips, and mashed peas. It was fantastic!
On my first field trip with my Myth, Horror, and Legend class we stopped by Stratford upon Avon to visit Shakespeare’s old home.
My first week ended with a trip to Stonehenge. It was really amazing! It is all roped off so you can not go up and touch the stones. On the 2 solstices of the year they let people go up to them for a pagan holiday so I must try and come back then.
One week down and four to go. So much to see and do left, I’m excited!!
I’m pleased that you had such a successful week. I can tell that you are fully embracing London. Michele
This is awesome I have wanted to visit London for a long time and by the sound of it I really need to go! Also I am currently in Queretaro, Mexico and my host moms sisters daughter is married to an English man! She lives in London as well! So, I will have to let them know that one of my Western buddies is there visiting!
