Final Day in London

Today was our last day in London. In the morning half of the group work up a little bit early, to go to Portabello Market. The market was a great experience, as it was approximately, a 2 mile stretch, featuring a delicious array of fresh fruits and pastries. The students took advantage of the great food, and got crepes, churros, and a loaf of cabatta bread. After the market, the entire group med up at Westminster Abbey. Although we didn't venture inside the church, it was clear, that this was the home of many years, of British history. It was the site of the recent wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. After seeing the outside of the church, the group walked over to Buckingham Palace. At the palace, we saw several helicopters land behind the large building, and some people believed that it was the queen coming back from Ireland. After Buckingham Palace, we walked over to Hyde Park to see the UEFA Champions League festival. At the festival, we walked into a few stores, and got merchandise from the upcoming Champions League game. During our time in Hyde Park, we kicked around a soccer ball with the locals, and learned how to play cricket. Overall, our time in London has been great. We look forward to the rest of the trip in France, Greece, and Switzerland. Cheers!
