On Thursday we started the day by walking around the outside of Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament. We then went to watch the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace and was able to see extra activities as they were practicing for the queen's birthday again. The picture on the right is part of the changing of the guards ceromony. We then went to the British National Museum which was full of many artifacts from all over the world. Later in the day we met with our group and made our way to where we were going to eat supper. On the way we visited the Clink Prison, this was very sad seeing all the torture people had went through in the prison a long time ago. We ate a group meal and then went to Macbeth at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. It was a very good play and very fun to see one of Shakespeare's plays at the Globe Theatre.
Today we started the day with a school visit. The schools here are more similar to the United States than the previous countries we have visited. The kids were fun to talk to being they could all speak English. After the school visit we stopped by Platform 9 3/4, in one of the subway stations, from the Harry Potter movies. The picture on the left is Platform 9 3/4 in the subway station. As a group we then went to The Foundling Museum which used to be an orphanage for children. After this we wandered the city some and came back for a little rest before going out for supper. We had a really good supper at an Italian restaurant before going to Wicked. The musical Wicked was very good to see and it was a lot of fun being there as a group!
