A Look into my Life

With mid-semester approaching I’ve been busy. Add in preparing for my break and I haven’t had a whole lot of free time! But I’m now officially on break and have all the time in the world!

For my art class today we went to the Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House along the Thames River. I think this has been my favorite gallery so far. It was small, concise and I got out of there quickly!

Upon exiting the gallery I found the road to be closed. A parade was under way! The city put on a parade of all of the medal winners in the Olympics and Paraolympics.  The parade moved west on The Strand and ended with a huge celebration at Trafalgar Square. There were thousands of people there and I was in the middle! I did lay claim to a few small British flags but I just couldn’t get into the spirit, I wonder why?

After that was a trip to the British Museum, again. I don’t believe I ever actually hated a museum but I do hate this one. Afterwards I walked down Tottenham Court Road. Man do they have a lot of electronics stores along there. I was tempted to go into them but I knew I couldn’t. 

Tomorrow I’m heading south west to Dover. This is the point at which the UK and France are closest. There is a castle there and the famous white cliffs. I will make a point to post about it tomorrow when I get back as well as post pictures. Once again, stay tuned!!
