The whole time we have been here it has rain only a total of 5 days maybe! Which is highly unlikely for London. I thought this was funny because last year in Italy it was pretty cool, which is also highly unlikely for Rome, it is usually in the 80s or 90s, so thank the Lord that the nice weather has followed me around the globe!
Yesterday Callie and I ventured over to Westminster because it was one day out of the week that it didn't close at 4 (don't even get me started on closing times of things here) It was so awesome, I had been there before but didn't really get a chance to take it all in and spend some serious time there like we did this time. Unfortunately there is no picture-taking allowed so I don't have any to share but if you get the chance to come to London I highly recommend it. Callie and I met there paid to get in and picked up our audio guide, the guided tours were all over (sad!) I was also really able to enjoy it because of the early modern history class I took this semester. In Westminster, among other things, was Elizabeth's coronation, Princess Diana's funeral, and loads of graves and memorials of famous poets, kings and queens (Shakespeare, Chaucer, Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary, King Henry VII just to name a few)
After Westminster Callie and I ventured to a favorite Italian spot right down the road from our house and enjoyed a wonderful Italian meal, almost as good as The four lions in Florence!
Now Callie and I are off to the British museum and then some dinner, so until next time!
