On Wednesday we went to Westminster Abbey and it was really neat! It is so beautiful inside, and I did not know how many different people were buried there! Like Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Elizabeth I and her sister Mary, Mary Queen of Scots, Isaac Newton, Henry Chaucer and so many more! Westminster was first built in 1245 by Henry III as his burial place. It is the traditional place for coronation and burial of English monarchs. And it was where the Royal Wedding was!
Me, Kendal, Katie and Lisa in front of Westminster!
Westminster Abbey
For our religion class we had to go to this chapel called the John Wesley chapel. John Wesley started the Methodist church in England, and this is the very fist Methodist chapel he built. These really sweet elderly people work there and gave us a tour. We told our guide, Keith, that we went to school in Utah and he asked us if we were Mormon! haha I guess even Englanders know Utah's history!
On Wednesday night Kendal, Katie and I went to see Les Miserables! We went to the theater an hour before the play started and we were able to get tickets that were worth 50pounds for only 27 pounds, and they were good seats too! It was my first time ever seeing it, and it was amazing! I cried like a baby and the music was great! I know that mom would love it. The only songs I recognized were the ones mom would sing-There is a castle on a cloud and can you hear the people sing! I am in love with Jean Valjean!
I saw this the other day and I knew mom would love it-it's a Tiffany & Co. taxi cab!
All of us had to do a collaboration project, and my group decided to do graffiti! So at night we went to a skatepark to do our project. But it is a skatepark were tagging is legal, so we really weren't that hardcore haha. But we still felt rebellious! We were all in charge of making a letter to spell out CREATE, and I did the E!
This is what it looked like when it was finished! Word straight up!
I love you guys and miss you so much! I hope you are doing well-talk to you soon!
This is SO cool!!!
