Those walking shoes.

   First trek in the new Pumas today!  They survived the London morning clouds and drizzle.  We spent the morning in class getting resources (CAPA has an awesome library-- Finally something to read on the tube!) and a talk from a police officer... who was sarcastically hilarious and informed us all of the ways British people can tell when Americans get drunk (the final stage being singing along to "Don't Stop Believin' and "Sweet Home Alabama"... which are apparently our favorite songs)  as well as some useful tips and some warnings to keep in mind while we are here.

   After class a few of us ventured to the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum (Megan, you would LOVE the V&A museum- especially the jewelry room)  Both museums were absolutely amazing and I'm planning on spending another day in the V&A again soon.  It was seriously amazing.  I got lost on my way to the Theatre and Performance exhibit, but when I did get there it was seriously awesome!  (the exhibits I passed on the way were equally cool.)  But there were TONS of models of different sets and such and they broke down each part into its own little area.  It was pretty awesome... like epically awesome.  I can't wait to explore the rest of it.

   Then we all got together for dinner and relaxation after our days.  A couple of us did some more exploring of our neighborhood tonight and met some pretty interesting people.

   Tomorrow brings more exploration and adventures, but for now, it's time for bed =)




See you tomorrow!
