A picture of the Countdown clock in the center of a plazaToday was my favorite day of the trip so far. After breakfast, we went to the British Museum. At the museum, we walked around through the Ancient Greek section and some of us even went to the Mummy exhibit.
After the museum, a group of us went to lunch at the Forum Cafe for lunch. We then took the Tube down to the Olympic Village in West Ham. We took a tour with Mark, the local tour guide, who gave us a comprehensive walking experience of the site.
When the tour was over, we took the Tube again, this time towards the town of Hackney. After Ryan bought us all popsicles, we made our way over to a building in Hackney, where we met with Charlie Foreman, the CEO of the London Games for the Hackney Borough. Charlie was really kind and informative (and the ginger molasses cake was delicious).
After our meeting with Charlie, we took the bus to dinner. It was a longer bus ride, but we got to sit in the front of the upper level, which was really cool.
Dinner was the best part of the day for most of us. It was our big group dinner at the Sports Cafe. It was an American restaurant and there was even a bathroom attendant.
We then went to the largest sports store I have ever been in, Lillywhites; here, I and many others bought a lot of soccer memorabilia. Exhausted from a long day, we all called it early and everyone is looking forward to our LOCOG meeting tomorrow.
