Sorry about not being able to write last night, it had been a very, very long day. We started off the day by trying to get into the London Comic Con, which was by the way our plan for the day; we were unable to do this because the line to get in was like a 3-5 hour wait. We decided to go to this museum that was having a Victorian-themed tea party. It was fun, but kind of aimed towards younger kids, and the actual museum exhibits were a bit outdated, but I still liked them. Finally, we decided to go to the tower of London, which is always AMAZING. They have this huge weapon armory that your dad would probably love- it is basically a compilation of all of the surviving armor of past English kings, along with every weapon that the royal court has made/been gifted with through the ages. After seeing the weapons, we saw the Crown Jewels... I'm sorry, but those things were just to decedent for me- everything was made of gold- there were huge plates and saucers and mugs and swords, and of course tons of crowns, each glistening with enough precious stones to set up a whole Indian city for life. Honestly, I found it grotesque. Anyway, the tower of London closed before we could finish looking at it, which was a bit sad. We were supposed to get to our friends house in London at 7, but we ended up getting there at 9 because our underground line stopped working, and we had to walk a few miles in the pouring rain, which I found fun, but my mother did not. anyway, as you can tell it was a tiring day, but today is going to be even more exiting and awesome... Guess where i'm going? I'm going to Cheddar Gorge (no idea about the name since it has nothing to do with cheese), which is this epic, legendary mountainous place pocketed by really spectacular caves- and on the way to Cheddar Gorge we are stopping in STONEHENGE! So, i'm exited, and ill be blogging about it later today...
I miss you Geena

You have to sing the Stonehenge song when you get there, or who knows maybe you are there already!
