May 8th ENGLAND

May 8^th

Our day started with a lecture by Ms. Sue Gill, a blue badge tour guide. She gave the class a lot of useful information about London and the UK, which helped us function better in the city as well as the country.  She then gave us an insightful summation of the Kings and Queens of England, starting with the Normans and finishing with Elizabeth II. She was absolutely wonderful and a joy to have speak to us, a really big thank you to her for taking the time out of her busy schedule for us! Thanks Ms. Gill!!!

After our morning lecture and lunch, we headed to central London, taking the Tube for the first time which was very exciting!! We got off the Tube at Piccadilly Circus and walked through the city to Trafalgar Square. Here we got to see many different sites with so much history behind them including the National Gallery, and Nelson’s Column. We also had a bus tour which gave us insight to the city around us. SO much history in one place AND IT’S ONLY OUR FIRST DAY!!!!!
