| Tower of London: King Henry VIII’s armor |
Today I got a ticket to see the Tower of London and ended up spending most of my day there. Very cool place! I’m really glad I went. The crown jewels were INCREDIBLE! One of the diamonds was 530 carats!!!!!!!! Woah. Gorgeous!
After I finished up at the Tower of London, I rode one of the big red busses, then went to the Globe Theater to see if they had any performances tonight. I ended up standing in the returns line and got one of their standing room tickets for 5 pounds! Yeah! FYI, if you ever go, they sell standing room tickets for 5 pounds, just book in advance, or stand in the returns line and cross your fingers. I saw Doctor Faustus. I’d never read it, but I liked it. And before the show, I ran down the street and grabbed some fish and chips for dinner! Very good!

Awesome, during intermission, a guy asked what class I was, he and his girlfriend both were wearing Aggie Rings! He graduated in 2006 and she graduated in 2011. AND… as I sit in the kitchen of my hostel writing this, the girl next to me just asked what year I am… there are two more Aggies in the hostel! Awesome!
Gotta make this one short because I have to leave my hostel in 3 hours (yes, at 3 am) to get to the airport for a 6 am flight. Meeting my mom, cousin and aunt at the airport in Rome (hopefully they’re on their flight right now!).
