Graveyard/Park
This is a tomb in the graveyard/park and Alec's head. So today started with a walking tour of the city. It was pretty neat I discovered that I wasnt as far as I thought away from my dorm yesterday. So we all went on this walking tour, Im pretty sure we were very inconvient to the locals. But we walked around a bit and saw some things. We ended at the British Library, where there was an exhibition going on about Christanity, Islam and Judaism called Sacred. Alec, Bill, Meg, Bryna, B-Town, Ellen, Christina and I decided to go because we were there already. Im glad we did because it was really neat and free, you know how I enjoy both those things. So after that we went and got fish and chips! Hooray! They put salt and vinegar on them and it is super yummy. Plus you get alot for your money. After we got our food to 'take away' (thats what they call to-go here) we went to a hidden park we saw on the walking tour and sat around and ate. The park was an old cemetary, it was actually the first cemetary in London that wasnt attached to a church. So that was pretty neat. While

This is some tombstones resting upon the brick wall, Im not sure if people were buried there or if they were just random tombstones. we were eating some people like across the courtyard started chanting like worshipping. So here we all are in London in a cemetary/park listening to people chanting across the way. What are the chances of all of that. It was very surreal. It was tons of fun just hanging out and eating fish and chips in London, very British! Tonight we went out to find a local pub and get some beers. 3 study abroad groups all went with us so there was 50 people give or take. Which no pub would be able to accomodate, I mean come on. So we ended up spliting up into two groups, a bunch of people went to some pub and 9 of us went to a different pub. Alec, Bill, Bryna, Meg, Mary Rose, Ellen, 2 other guys I dont know the names of and I all went to the Queens Head (A sports bar) where a football match was going on and we watched the Neatherlands beat Syrbia. The pub was tons of fun. I ended up having a pint and a half of some lagar and lime, it was super delicious. Tomorrow we have another MSU orientation in the morning

quirrel?
the picture of the squirrel makes me happy. next time try just tossing some food to one and see if he'll come up for you to feed him. usually squirrels in bigger cities are more friendly or willing to approach people.
