Dear Mummy and Daddy,
I know it costs a fortune to attend Westminster School...but I dont think you understand that I WILL find a way to get there. On my own if I have to, I dont care...you dont even understand how badly I need to go.
This is what there letter is going to say when they find it at home instead of me because...Im never leaving London. Visiting Westminster Abbey was absolutely the highlight of my life, the peak if you will. Its all down hill in life, save for The Globe. We visited the memorials of Shakespeare, Carroll, TS Elliott, Jane Austen, and Chaucer in the poets corner. We also visited the actual tombs of Queen Mary Tudor, and Elizabeth I, along with other medieval Kings. We sat where the choir sat in the Royal Wedding and walked Kate's wedding path, and lit a candle on the altar...no words can describe the epicness this day entailed. School was still in session so we had the priveledge of seeing a class change classes. The Tate musuem of modern art was also a pleasure to tour, the highlight being Turner's works. I am not really an "art critic" so everything was incredible and bursting with vibrance, and talent to me. Westminster Cathedral was also quite magnificent, but nothing grabbed me as much as the Abbey. Before dinner, we had a quiz on what wed learned so far...and to be honest I was a little worried. Howeverr, my team "The Force" won! Mrs. Knight presented us with key chains and the fact that this was her last evening with us :(. Speaking of Mrs. Knight, today before entering the Abbey, I really had to use the loo and she accompanied me. We had to find a public loo which involved crossing a crazy street. Did you know that you have to pay to use the public loo? 50 pence! And they also have chewable toothbrushes. "No wonder the Brits have bad teeth!" good one Mrs. Knight :) She totally got the cockney flashcards for us today as well! I will miss her dearly, she was a joy to be around and I totally got a hug ad a picture with her! Score! Now, off to Parliament in the morning!
You're going to Parliament!?! That's awesome! You've inspired me to watch Downton Abbey; I just borrowed Season 2 from the library. I just finished up season 1. Cheerio!
