Spotted Dick

Thursday was a lot of fun. After class sessions we ate lunch in Bowling green park. It's called that because people actually bowl on the lawn theyt have. (Game is similar to bocce) The park was filled with businessman also eating lunch and it was very beautiful.



After that we went to Tower Bridge and then Tower of London. If was so coooooll! Inside the Tower of London I saw Beefeaters, a holding cell of thieves under water, where beheading took place, armour, medieval weapons, and the ROYAL family jewels!!! The jewels were incredible and consisted of rings, crowns, staffs and sooo much crazy cool stuff. I also saw the biggest diamond in the world.



For dinner we went to this pub. I got fried eggs, bacon, chips, and peas, which were soooo good. They almost looked fake. Our table also ordered our first pitchers of delicious fruit mixed drinks!! One was called Tutti Frutti.



After we went on the “Jack the Ripper Walk.” We followed the trail of the serial killer and saw pictures of the victims. It was very creepy and gruesome. HOWEVER, on our walk we also saw a church where the zombie movie 28 days was filmed AND where Diagon Alley and Olivander’s from Harry Potter were!! Wooo



On our way home we were all walking and some random guy comes out of nowhere and just busts a move and starts dancing with cigarette in hand next to Lisa. It was wicked funny.

Yesterday was also lotssss of fun!!!! We went to Canary Wharf, a large business and shopping development in East London. There we went to a Docking Museum....it was a bit boring, but we learned that houses were once constructed actually on London bridge, pretty cool. And we heard lots about Britain's involvement with the triangle trade and slaves.

After that we went to a beautiful church where some of the Divinci Code was filmed.



Then we went to this old pub called Ye Old Chesire Cheese. People such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Voltaire, some popes, and all the past kings and queens since 15something!! The pub was great I got mushroom stroganoff for dinner and of course....Spotted dick for dessert!! wooo Spotted dick was pretty good. It was like bread pudding with raisins over a bed of custard.



AT night time we decided to go to a club called Funky Buddah!!! dnhaudheu ahhh SOOO expensive! We missed getting in for free cover charge so we had to pay 20 pounds!!! But it was a good experience. The music was great and the london going out outfits were awesome to see!! On the way home we kept missing like all 14 buses that drove by us and we ended up walking home 2.1 miles! my feet are definitely feeling the repercussions of it today. But i was a lot of fun and every needs a good wlak now and then. Oh yeah i did the walk barefoot too!

CHEERS!!
