Day five

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone had a fantastic start to their new year. I was lucky enough to spend it with a group of amazing people. I haven’t known most of them for long, but the memories that were made will forever be etched in my mind. The group I was with chose to spend our evening in Piccadilly Circus- a place full of people, lights, and excitement. We didn’t get home until after four in the morning. Let me just tell you, you have never seen crowded until you try to catch the tube after a New Year’s Eve in the city of London. We all had a free day today before meeting at the Centre Page for dinner together. I must admit, because of my late night I took advantage of sleeping in today. However, I have a lot of great pictures to share along with a very fun fact I learned. Enjoy!

The picture above is a statue of King Charles the first. During the revolution, Oliver Cromwell led an army to overthrow the monarchy. During this time, every single statue of King Charles was melted down. This one was taken and hidden in order to preserve it. The interesting fact about this statue is the bottom of the tail on the horse serves as the point where all distances from London are measured.

Pictured above is a fun loving group imitating the Beatles famous picture. They are walking along the very road the picture was taken called Abbey Road.
