More Things I've Been Doing in London

Here are some of the things that I have been doing in London since I posted last.

My mom and I went to the British Museum and saw the Greek exhibits, the Rosetta Stone and a library place that had a lot of collections of artifacts from foreign places. Another highlight from that day was getting lunch at a restaurant called YoSushi where they had a conveyor belt and, of course, sushi. It was really fun! Another day we were wondering what to do and came across the Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum, so we went to it. Some of my favorite things there were the mirror maze, butterfly and bubblegum art, a piece of the Berlin Wall and a room where they had a piece of a real meteor and fossilized dinosaur eggs. A couple days later one of my best friends, M and her mom, C came! We met them at the airport and it was really nice because I hadn't seen anyone that was my age for six weeks! The next day we went to Westminster Abbey. We saw a lot of tombs of kings and queens, statues of animals and humans, stained glass and cool ceilings. The next day was M's birthday! We saw Buckingham Palace and had High Tea, which was really fancy. We all especially liked this rose-raspberry-french macaroon dessert and I also liked chocolate chocolate chip scones with their homemade nutella. That night we saw Wicked the musical! It was really, really, really fun! I liked the costumes a lot, and the actors and actresses were good singers. The day after that we went to Hampton Court. We saw the kitchens, the Great Hall, went in the hedge maze and even saw the 'king'. Going there was slightly creepy because King Henry the VIII was famous for beheading his wives. The next day was C's birthday! We went to Bath and saw the excavations of the pools that the Romans who used to live in Bath bathed in. The water was pure mineral water that naturally bubbled up from the earth. The last thing we did at the archaeology place was going into the pump room and trying the mineral water that was free there. It was sort of disgusting. After that we went to a spa where we went in a pool that was like a modern version of the Romans' baths- it was also mineral water that came up from inside the earth. It was cool because there was a little fountain thing next to the main pool that was where the water came from, straight from the spring, and also because the water had been down under the ground for thousands of years. Sadly, they left the day after that. Soon I will be in Amsterdam, so I will tell you some things I have been doing more recently here in London, and what I am doing there!
