Another fun-filled busy day. It was snowing when I got up and turned to rain, but by noon the sun was peaking through. It started off with some crabby students who did not receive their wake-up call, but also did not have a backup as they were told to do. So they had to get ready REALLY fast, but all made it okay and we headed to the Tower of London where the Crown Jewels were on display and where Ann Boleyn, as well as another of Henry VIII wives, were beheaded. They keep Ravens on the grounds as their is a superstition if they ever leave the Tower England will fall.
Outside the Tower is the Tower Bridge. This is often confused with the London Bridge, which is awfully boring actually. The Tower Bridge is beautiful!!!
We then split up, some going to Harrod's, the famous department store, some to wander and shop more of London (there is lots of shopping in London!), and a few of us headed to the Museum. There we saw mummies, Greek architecture, the Rosetta Stone, and an Easter Island head among MANY other things. A bunch of girls also saw the premier to Madagascar 2 open and got pictures of some of the celebrities in attendance!
DUM DUM, ME WANT GUM GUM!!!

We concluded our night with a Curry Dinner at an Indian Restaurant. It was amazing and everyone cleaned their plates!
