Even More Pictures


When we went to Oxford yesterday, we got to see the building where they filmed the first Harry Potter movie. It was cool, and you could really recognize it, especially the halls and staircases. That's where the picture's from.


I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm ready for this trip to be over. I'm completely exhausted. I think that once you start wanting to come home, it means that you made the most out of the trip, right? Plus everyone is probably getting tired of these trip posts.


I'll probably have some new book reviews when I get back. I'll post again once I'm home!

More Trip Details




We went to Bath yesterday and I have some pics from it. It was extremely cool to look at everything. The picture above is of me touching the water from the baths. The water is really hot! But I should mention that England is absolutely beautiful, both in the country and in the cities. The buildings are amazing and if you're an architect like my sister you'll be having lots of fun. We went to Oxford today and I got a University of Oxford t-shirt. Since the sizes work differently in Europe, I got a little confused so I hope I grabbed the right one. ;) Some things you should know about England:
  • When you order lemonade at a restaurant, they'll bring you Sprite.
  • None of the drinks are cold ( no ice).
  • They call parking lots "car parks".
  • They call the restrooms "toilets".
  • Chips are called cripses.
  • When you put a dime in their vending machines, it will come right back out.
  • Most of the buildings are from the 1400s.
  • So much more, I can't write it all.

More later!

London Picture


I'm still in England and I haven't had too many opportunities to use the computer yet. Sorry. But we did go to England yesterday and I have a picture of my sister and me in front of Buckingham Palace!
Hopefully I'll have some more opportunities to post later!
