Quick update on class

Hello, blogging world! I just got out of London Prep class, and we did "I Must See" presentations. I did mine on the house of Sherlock Holmes' on 221b Baker Street. It sounds amazing. I still cannot believe that fans wore black arm bands and protested when Sir Arthur Conan Doyle tried to kill him off in a short story. Sherlock Holmes certainly has staying power. He continues to reappear in pop culture. Anyways, here is a list of a couple of the places that really caught my eye from today's class:

• Platform 9 3/4
• Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
• Westminster Abbey
• Liverpool
• Camden Markets
• Covent Garden
• Portobello Market 
• The Button Queen
• Charing Cross Road
• St. Paul's Cathedral
• Queens Theatre
• Windsor Castle
• Hampton Court
• Abbey Road
• VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM
• The Florence Nightingale Museum

Can you tell I am excited about the Victoria and Albert Museum? That is just a short list, but there are so many places we are going as a group and many more areas I want to explore on my own. Please comment with suggestions of places to go.  Six weeks will just not be long enough, I can already tell. Ciao for now!

What a Wonderful World

This is a blog dedicated to my exploits in London while I am studying abroad with Brigham Young University. I am overjoyed to be going! This certainly is a wonderful world, and I feel blessed to explore England this spring. If you are interested in viewing my pictures and new discoveries, please check back every so often. Please post comments, stories, and suggestions. Two heads are better than one, as the adage says.

I discovered tonight that I am not as proficient in HTML coding as I thought I was, so if you have any suggestions that could help my layout/color scheme, feel free to offer them. I am having particular trouble with my play list, and I would love advice.

My first topic about England is the Royal Wedding. I will be there for it, and I am so excited! My professor told us that we are to do nothing else that day except explore the parade route and join the crowds in front of Westminster Abbey. I am so excited. Here is the link to the royal wedding website: The Royal Wedding. You should really check it out. It looks to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What do you want pictures of (besides the dress)? Let me know.


Well, I am happy to be blogging, and I am very grateful for this opportunity to study abroad. Ciao for now!
