| Westminster Abbey |
Today was one of those days where your plans fell through
but you ended up doing something better. The plan this morning was to go
tour Westminster Abbey, which was going to be cool. But, once we got there we
found out that Tuesdays are the only days that the tours start later than 9:30.
So, we wandered around for a couple of hours and we ended up at this random
park. It had the most beautiful carved wooden bench. It was amazing. We stayed
there for almost an hour. After that we headed back to Westminster Abbey only
to find a line that went around the block. So, obviously we decided to come
back another day.
Several people went off to the British Museum, others went
home to do homework, but another girl and I went to a bookstore. We went to
Hatchards. It had 5 floors (I think). It was wonderful! So many books! And the
books in the UK have different covers, which are amazing! I desperately wanted
to buy His Dark Materials because they
were gorgeous. And maybe if I still have money to spend I will go back and buy
them. I also want the entire Harry Potter series (the British versions), but
that’s way too much money right now. So anyway, I bought one book. I know, just
one book. The Cuckoo’s Calling. It’s
the book that J.K. Rowling wrote under a pseudonym. I started it before I came
to London, but now I can finish it!
