I know that you
have all been waiting in anticipation for the last part of our London weekend. Once again the cruel demands of teaching has kept me from my duties. I have also started my class at Edinburgh University, which I will discuss in a future blog. After we left Wicked we took the tube down to the Tower of London, the famous home of English kings since William the Conquerer. The place where Anne Boleyn lost her head and where the famous Crown Jewels are kept. We did not take the tour because it was late in the da
y. We walk around the Castle and went across the Tower Bridge, well known landmark that Brandon Fraser ran across in the second Mummy movie. Once we were on the south side of the Thames we walked along as the sun set over London. After having a great dinner in Leicester Square we joined the throng of people from around the world out on a Saturday night in London, it was intoxicating. The following morning, Harriet picked us up and took us out to Hampstead Heath for a great breakfast at an old English estate that now serves as a public park. It had a great view of the London skyline. Finally, Harriet dropped us off at covent garden and we shopped and watch some street performers before we had to go. (yes the natives were there and playing Celine Dion AGAIN--Madrid, Edinburgh, London they are tracking me) When we got back to King's Cross, Monique and I bolted and decided to head off to hogwarts instead. Have a great weekend. Cheers

Hey! I hate you very much right now :) Everything sounds awesome! But if you could check your school email that would be great. There is some important college stuff I sent to you.
Thanks!
Hey Mr. Brigham. It sounds like you're having a blast! But I totally agree with Tommy. You should check your school email.
