London, Day 2

Day 2 has, so far, been better than day 1. It's surprisingly hot in London. We thought it would be cooler, like it was in Scotland, but we don't mind the sunshine. It just means that we need to do more laundry.
Today we had class all morning (the classrooms are at a college in South Kensington, which is a twenty-five minute walk from the dorms connected to the college). After walking around and going to theater venues I realized just how big London is. If it takes 25 minutes to walk to class, then it must take FOREVER to get to the touristy things on the other side of town. I liked being able to walk around Edinburgh without getting on a bus. I haven't quite figured out the Tube yet (we went on last night), but I did figure out which line to take when we fly out of Heathrow in December.
After class Brittany, Caitlin and I strolled through the Museum of Natural History, which was on our way back from class. It's free, which is AWESOME, and had some very cool exhibits. Here's one:



And this is the entrance! That's pretty cool! I really want to wander through the Air and Space Museum if I can. Tomorrow we have a free day, and we might arrange a Sherlock Holmes scavenger hunt (both places where Sherlock was filmed and places where the original stories took place). 

Tonight we will go to a midnight performance of As You Like It at the Globe. I hope we can stay up...
