Breakfast:
Full of Spanish. Peanut butter! Back to room to get ready.
Metro to Tower Hill, Tower of London:
-Beautiful, rain added to the gravity of the executions but would be great on a clear day as well.
-Yeoman tour:
--WONDERFUL. Would suggest it to EVERYONE!
-Crown Jewels, NEAT
-Royal Armo(u)ry; kind of boring, lots of steps down.
-Didn't walk on a wall. :(
Metro (5 minute pause in the car) to Westminster:
SUPER AMAZING. Going back Sunday night for when everything is lit up + London Eye. Crossed River 2 times.
-Westminster Abbey was BEAUTIFUL. Practically ineffable. Pay to enter, free audio/listening guide. Lady Chapel. Wow. Poet's Corner. Chaucer, Keats + Shelley, Byron, SHAKESPEARE (lol not really), Browning. DARWIN. HANDELLL. Tomb of the unknown soldier. Prayerbox. What do people pray for? What do they ask priests to pray for, 2 times a day for a week?
Raining as I left, wandered to Buckingham Palace. Huge statue of Queen Victoria. Huge. Through Green Park. Down the road to Piccadilly Circus. Stop at Cilantro, sandwich. Made it to Piccadilly + went to British Museum @ Russell Square. Took a long way around. SOAS poster with about 30 languages offered for instruction. Screw Liam.
Holy AOWUEH!@#ER*WT@!#. **
New life goal? Live in the British Museum. Really. Curl up next to some busts or sarcophagi... Okay, maybe not... Map was super confusing. Wandered into what was apparently the Hall of Enlightenment and managed to find a copy of the Rosetta Stone. <3. olmec =" group," style="font-weight: bold;">tomorrow!! Cannot believe HP comes out tonight at midnight (technically). After I see it, I may be emotionally unhinged. I feel that a part of me is dying as ths eries is finally, officially coming to a close. It's been such a huge part of my life. Hello, I'm meeting William tomorrow! I've known him probably 3 or 4 years now. I think at least 4. Sending each other awesome music (The Killers/The Cloud Room) and drawing him pictures of Pokemon in paint. WE'VE COME SO FAR!
Going with Rosie to Oxford tomorrow, I do believe! Really excited, hope it'll be a fun time and that her friends will like me. Sosososo pleased with my days here so far. Except the hostel. The window is broken and thus permanently open. Was rainy and cold. Slept in a tanktop, shirt, pants, wool socks. Was alright, as the comforter was in fact super heavy. Slept surprisingly well. Tired again, looking forward to sleep.
