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!
