Continuation of the Friday Adventures
After a one-week hiatus, we returned to our Friday adventures after class to random old things around London. The most recent trip was to the Tower of London, a centuries old fort and series of towers more famously known for its history of holding infamous prisoners such as Sir Walter Raliegh and Anne Boleyn and hanging them. The Towers were pretty impressive, centuries old but still standing strong overlooking on the Thames. We got to see the prisoner rooms, old torture devices, the Crown Jewels of the Monarchy, and go on an impressive tour of the grounds. It was a pretty sweet thing to see, even with the obnoxious lady from South Carolina so kindly inserting her opinion at every possible point (now I see why people don't like us.) Though the funniest part of the journey was probably seeing the pub across the street titled Hung, Drawn, and Quartered. All in all, a pretty cool trip for a Friday afternoon.
