Activity Journal

The activity journal represents an ongoing log of reflections gained through each and every project activity on the calendar.

Leave the above sentence in place exactly as it is, delete this sentence, and add a new activity journal entry for each major trip or activity in which you participate (museum visit, cultural experience, etc.).

Activity #1 Westminster Abbey

Bright and early in the morning of May 8th, 2017 we headed to the tube to get to Westminster Abbey. When you exit the tube station and look up you can see the gorgeous structure ahead, and with one of my milestones being architecture, I immediately took notice of the architectural details. We met up with a tour guide who took us into Westminster Abbey. He told us about the gothic feature of using stone to disperse the weight of the ceilings which allowed for larger windows. Because the weight is dispersed to the walls flying buttresses are needed to keep the building together. Continuing through the church, there were many beautiful memorials, all very detailed, but unfortunately we could not take any pictures inside because it is a sacred place. The Westminster Abbey was a great place to start our activities!

Activity #2 Tower of London

After visiting Westminster Abbey we hopped back on the tube and headed towards Tower Hill. When you first see Tower of London you are taken aback. When you first enter you are surrounded by towering walls. You have the freedom to walk around the Tower and visit exhibits that interest you. My group went to see the torture exhibit, the crown jewels, we did the wall walk and saw actors throwing projectiles over the wall! This was my second time at the Tower of London and I still enjoyed it. There was so much to see and do, and the crown jewels are still magnificent no matter how many times you see them!
