London

Hi! I have SO much to say in 1 post. I'll do my best. O.k., so first, of course, I rode a plane to London. It took about 8 hours. If you have to ride a plane for that long, always try to sleep for most of it. I slept, but it was very light. It was more of a time passing sleep. Anyway, we got there, had lunch, slept (we were ALL tired), and we rode this thing called the London Eye. It is sort of like a HUGE Ferris wheel, but there are more people in this egg-shaped room that moves around. It is always moving very slowly. At the top you can see all of London. It is awesome. Then we went to bed so we could wake up to hard core sightseeing. We saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in London. SO cool, but I won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen it. Then we saw Westmister Abbey, Big Ben, and Parliament. A lot of people think that Big Ben is the name of the tower, but it is really the name of the bell inside. Then we went to the British Library. We saw the REAL copy of Handel's Messiah!!! Then we went to The National Gallery. After that we went to the British Museum, and we saw the ACTUAL Rosetta Stone!!! We took a sightseeing bus tour to the hotel and crashed. (If you are wondering how we get to places, we take underground trains called Tubes.) I am SO TIRED. But today, we are going to Paris! Ooh-la-la!
