"The first pint's on me!"

Wednesdays are the days we have our class excursions soo we had lecture until 10:50 and then we broke for lunch. Lindsey, Emily, and I went a place down a block or two and I had the Moroccan Chicken Curry with slaw and an Americano. It was absolutely delicious. They also had the coolest stickers on their take aways so we kept those.

Our class met in the lobby at 12 and we headed out to the Museum of London. We were able to see the London wall that still remains outside and we were able to walk the "streets" inside on how it used to be. There were all kinds of artifacts that have been found from way back in the day and there also was a well done section on the Great Fire.

We did the museum in a little over an hour and then headed to Greenwich. This was the first time I rode the DLR which is the train above ground. It was lovely to see the city and I could also see the Shard which is the newest, tallest building in London right now.

At Greenwich we saw the gates, the beach, and Olympic Stadium in the distance. Lindsey, Emily and I toured the Painted Hall and the Church next door. Everything was just gorgeous. Once we had done that, we went through a shop and wondered around the area. At 4:15 we went to the pub, Admiral Hardy, because our professor said he would be there and "the first pint's on me!" I really wanted to get a pint so I could say that but instead I ordered a Jack and Ginger. It was amazingly delicious because it was a ginger ale/beer from the UK. Our whole class sat at this table enjoying our pints and having a good time. If only classes back home could be like this! School is way better here haha.

For dinner I had a British Roast sandwich at another pub. It was okay except they literally put a pea size amount of spiced mustard on each side of the bread so it was really dry. I put my salad and dressing on it and a touch of ketchup and then it was fine.

We headed back to London to go to Trafalgar Square because it was SO beautiful out (I forgot to mention that!) But of course by the time we get there it is a down pour. We thought of going into the National Gallery and wait but they changed their late night to Friday instead of Wednesday. So Lindsey departed from us and went home and  Emily and I decided to have a rainy day adventure. After about 10 minutes it cleared up and was beautiful again so I am glad we stayed. We saw the statues and fountains and the Olympic countdown clock and from there we adventured out and I took a bajillion pictures. We went to Piccadilly circus which they call their Time's Square and I can see it...on a very small version of course. I saw an electronic billboard (literally one) and thought oh it's a little piece of New York.

Our adventure led us to Baker Street and we saw were Sherlock Holmes "lives". I want to go back again in the daytime to see the museum and eat next door haha.

Cheers!
