Day 16: Night on the Thames

Okay, so for today's official post...

Went in to work today to help edit a yearly book thing they do for clients... really cool. Was there for quite a while. They brought in delicious bagel sandwiches, little cakes and pastries, and fresh fruit. Then later on, there was champagne and chocolate cake to celebrate a birthday and an engagement. Awesome perks. And fun work.

Hm, just remembered something, though... headed to the Tate Britain with a friend on Wednesday to look at some things for class. Ended up making it only for about 15 minutes, but then decided to wander around for a bit. We found a cute little cafe and then ran into Westminster Abbey right as the sun began to go down. So beautiful. Saw Big Ben (well, Clock Tower) too.




We decided to keep walking and get on the tube if we got tired, so we headed up the Thames toward the flats. Absolutely stunning. We ran into this pub that looked pretty unique from the outside and went in to be treated to a gorgeous interior. (There are pictures in the album.) Got my favorite beer, Leffe, which I just recently found out actually is a Belgian abbey beer from Notre Dame de Leffe. What a coincidence.



And what a Wednesday night.

On the schedule for tomorrow are Stonehenge and Bath! The ND Program organized this trip, so there are about 50 students going. I'm really looking forward to it. Still can't believe I'm actually going to Stonehenge... I read an article in National Geographic about it in August at the dentist or something, and the whole idea of actually going still amazes me. Afterwards, I'm planning on heading to Shoreditch for this thing called the Homeless Gallery where anyone can hang their art. Seems like a nice enough idea; could be really interesting.
