They've Got Years On Us

It rains here a lot, but I like the rain. It's not very warm, but I don't do heat very well. I'm loving being here. There are so many things to do and places to see. I love being able to wake up on a Friday morning and say to my friends, "What should we do today?" and they reply, "I don't know.... Hey, let's go to the British Museum!" and we hop on the tube and go there.

I also love meeting up with my friends on Friday afternoon and saying "What do you want to do tonight?" and they reply "Do you want to go to a show? We could see which shows have half-price tickets!" and then going to a professional musical on the west end for £25.

I also went to see Leeds Castle, which was gorgeous.

I have far too many pictures to put them all up to show all the awesome things I've seen at the museum and on the castle grounds. I am in awe of how old some of the things are. I've seen things that are thousands and thousands of years old, and they're in great condition. It floors me to think of the people who made these things. When they made those pots and urns and carvings, I'm sure they wanted them to last, but probably had no idea that they would last this long and that people would be walking by them en masse to admire them. I have more pictures to put up, but blogger is being mean and not letting me at the moment. I'll add them later.
