Westminster Abbey and Tower of London

​It was not my first day in London, but it was my first time in many things. It was my first time in the tube. I really liked the experience in comparison to other transportation in cities I have been. It is really modern and clean. Early morning we started the tour of Westminster Abbey. Our tour guide Carl explained the history of the building. Inside the Abbey we couldn't take pictures but I will never forget the incredible memorials to one of the most important people that have lived on earth. I really like the Gothic style of the building.

First we saw the Coronation Chair and The Stone of Scone. I was impressed by the story of the Scottish Stone and how one stone was so important in the history between England and Scotland. Then we saw the soldiers memorial. Tower of London I wish we had a tour for a better understanding of it. But it was really impressive, all the crown jewels, the history of the crown.

British Museum

​ After a nice 30 minute walk we got to the British Museum in the morning. I went in and I was impressed by the architecture. From outside it looks like an old building however it is has a really modern in the main area. The marble stairs took us to all the exhibitions. From the Egypt to America. ------- After we finished watching most of the museum. My group Emily, Olivia, Peter, Cole and Nathalie sat a little to discuss an article we were going to create for this museum. Inspired by the jewels I saw yesterday I decided to do a section on Jewelry though Time section in our article. I had lunch in Russel Square and decided to go to Serpentine Gallery after to work on my milestone. In my way to the gallery I walked across Hyde Park. I found Hyde Park to be splendid! It is huge in comparison to the park I had lunch. I admire all the Londoners walking their dog, ridding their bikes or simply enjoying family time. Before arriving to my destination I came across many monuments including Albert's Memorial. I went into both Serpentine galleries and admired the works of famous modern artists. A particular artist triggered my creativity. She reminded me that "arte es útil" that can translate to arte has a purpose. I made the outline of my first milestone based on her ideas and my creativity.
