So we finally made it to London today. The city reminds me somewhat of N.Y.C., just with smaller buildings and much more history. We are staying at the University College, London in downtown.Touring the city was an adventure. The tube (subways) are very active. This is how we are able to travel around town.

We started off the day with a group session at the University College, London where the student body president spoke to us about his position on campus and talked to us about the University itself. It was nice to get another students perspective about campus activities and to see how their student body functions.

Later in the afternoon a few of us bought half price tickets to go see Mary Poppins Musical at the Prince Edwards Theatre. It was the best musical I have ever seen and our seats were even up close. Before the play we spent a few hours at the British Museum. The museum was so big that we have to go back tomorrow.

Tomorrow we plan on seeing the London Tower and Bridge. Our goal is to try and get a guard to talk to us and to get our picture with them. The weather has been pretty nice, mostly sunny but cold.

I have had a great day and am getting used to the city. This trip has exposed me to new cultures and has given me a chance to grow as a leader but more so as a person.
