RIP Anne Boleyn & Lady Jane Grey

OH MY GOSH we went out to the clubs in Soho last night and.... nothing bad happened. !!! Amazing. Last night was a total blast, only a select 5 of us cool kids kept going all night. Soho on a Friday night is a total zoo, but it was great. You don't experience culture by sitting in a hotel room all the time... nope you don't.

So I slept in today and woke up around 10:30, and left for my own alone time wandering the streets of London at noon. I went to the London Tower and took their free tour led by the Beefeaters, which was really good. The Tower was phenomenal, too... I love European history though so maybe I am biased. I couldn't passup the opportunity to see the places where Lady Jane Grey and Anne Boleyn were both executed. I especially liked the legend of the London Tower ravens, and nearly bought a stuffed raven in the gift shop. I was able to hold myself back. After that, I did some light souvenir shopping and bought a new pair of cheap ballet flats because I am sick of having only two pairs of shoes to choose from, and honestly no matter what pair if shoes I wear... MY FEET ARE GOING TO HURT. Oh well. Tonight we are going to try to make it to a silent DJ bar, or to Soho again... we only have a half day of class tomorrow :)
