Barbie and Skipper Hit London

"Y'all remind me of Barbie and Skipper..." - Claire, fellow group member :)

Apparently we remind our group members of Barbie and Skipper, because we're 'put together and perfect all the time'. Not sure if that's exactly true, but it was a funny quote for the day.

This morning we headed to the Tower of London and London Bridge, two of my mom's favorite places in all of London. The Tower of London was full of treasures like all of the armory artifacts and our favorite, the Crown Jewels! We also got to read and look at all of the towers that held prisoners and tortured individuals for information. And of course, the London Bridge is absolutely splendid!

Following the morning's adventures we spent mid-day walking around 'the City' (business district) enjoying the architecture and design, then grabbing lunch at an

Italian restaurant in Leadenhall, where we also enjoyed a delicious chocolate cupcake as you can see! After lunch we looked at the strangest building in all of London, the Gerken Building, and then our group made the trek out to our Anthropology

field site 'Brick Lane' to learn about the ethnography of the area.

For dinner we enjoyed Turkish food (Cara Tynes, if you're reading this we went upon your recommendation and it was delicious!) with some of our new friends. And finally, we wrapped up our evening with our favorite American ice cream with the 31 flavor choice, Baskin Robbins. Tomorrow we head to Oxford, so goodnight world! Love to all and Cheers from London!
