Looking Back on our London Trip

By Sydney Baker

After it is all said and done, I feel like I didn't get nearly as much completed as I wanted to on our trip. We did mostly everything we planned to do, but there is still so much more that I would love to see. For example, the history of all the historical places we visited was so fascinating to me, so I would have loved to visit some of the museums around the city. Some of my teachers suggested that I would enjoy them, but I just didn't find the time. If I ever go again, I will make sure that I make time. I got all of the touristy things out of the way so now I definitely have time to enjoy other aspects of the city. The parks were so beautiful when we drove by them on the tours, so next time I want to make sure I visit a few of them. It may also be a good idea to go when the weather is far from snowing and cold. I could do without that for a good while. I'm too used to my Texas weather, which doesn't involve freezing snow. Food-wise, I think I tried all of the London classics, except I did not go to afternoon tea. Joaquin suggested a little place near our hotel that he said was amazing. So I am adding that to the list of things to do when I go back. Overall, I  enjoyed my time spent in London and suggest that anyone looking to have a great time and learn a little about the history of Britain check out London. It's relatively easy to get around and travel time between places is short. I'm glad I took the opportunity to see this part of the world with my classmates.
