England Trip Log

Well I'm well over a week into my study abroad trip and things here are pretty much amazing. The weather here has been perfect, with exception to the past few days of light rain, the sun has been out every day. The pictures have been flowing and the people are great. Have to stop staying up so late though, I can get away with it in the states, but over here its taxing, I passed out right after the Man U game and went to bed shortly after. the excitement of our day yesterday was going into London for the day. We went to the Globe theater and saw Romeo and Juliet, but only stayed for half of it because of our tickets for standing room were trying on our legs. Most of the group dispersed and the guys went on a little tour of our own. We got on the tube and popped over to Parliment, saw the PM's motorcade, and that's the truth. Walked up to Trafalger Square, took the train over to Picadilly Circus and saw what there was to see there. We didn't take many pictures because we'll be back there in a few weeks, so I'll be snapping photos like crazy then. We then walked to Chinatown and had an absolutly delicious dinner at this small restaurant that we will be going back to when we come back. Funny story, Bivens and I asked for water, but forgot to tell them we wanted tap water, not bottled. So they brought out this elaborate bottle of water with ever mineral in it except Uranium. It was expensive, but it was the best tasting water we ever had, it went down so smooth. We then caught the trian back to Grantham and just made it back in time for the Man U game against Wigan Athletic, which Man U won 2-1 in the final minutes. Tomorrow bright and early we're getting up and going to Scotland to enjoy the sights, maybe do a ghost tour or pub hop, nothing to fancy. I'll blog more about Scotland when I get back, see ya Sunday.
