Living Life Abroad: Thursday, July 26th

Thursday, July 26th... today was by far my favorite field trip yet! My criminology class went to Windsor Castle and Runnymede. Windsor Castle was exactly what every little's princess dream would include. It was beautiful! The weather was also perfect so it worked out well. I also met a guard and got to see changing of the guard!! We all ate lunch together a a delicious pub with more great lasagna! Then we found our way via bus to Runnymede. This wasn't that exiting to me because it was basically just a big field to me. Although we did get to walk a trail and get out of the city for awhile. We saw a JFK memorial placed there by Americans and also a Magna Carta memorial, also by Americans. Then yours truly heard that there was a Royal Air Forces memorial "slightly up the hill" from the Magna Carta memorial, so I drug my dear classmates up what ended up being a 6 mile long hiking trail.Good thing I get along well with them or they probably would have been upset with me. The views up there were gorgeous and the best thing I've seen yet. We made our way back down through a cow pasture (literally... I wish I could have recorded the little Chicago girls whining abot cow manure) and made our way back to the bus and train to London. A few classmates decided we did not want to be good students and do our homework, so we went to see the Lion King musical instead. This was awesome! Jersey Boys was my favorite still, but the way the portrayed the animals and the amount of talent that Lion King required was awesome!
