This week we traveled to London to visit friends and family. There is too much to do for just a week in London. The best part of being here was seeing my sister! And also my aunt and cousin I haven't seen in 8 or so years.
My lovely cousin Doyin, took us around most of the weekend. Every time we asked her what something was, she did not know, she just lives here. It was quite comical.
The first site we visited was the Tate Modern Museum, and we stumbled upon art works by Black artist. Our favorite one was "No Woman No Cry". When we were looking at the painting, the tour guide was having trouble remembering who wrote the song, "No Woman No Cry" (Bob Marley) My group knew the answer and then the tour guide asked us to sing it. We hesitantly sang the 4 words we knew of the song "No Woman No Cry"
Highlight: My sister almost burning down my aunt's flat, and me saving the day by putting the fire out! ( Thank God I go to Cornell...we thrive under pressure)
Low point: There wasn't one, I was with my wonderful and lovely sister for 5 days.
Accomplishments: 1.We walked Abbey Road, 2.I got a picture of a stereotypical English woman, 3. We sang and danced "London Bridge is Falling Down" and Fergie's London Bridge song on the London Bridge.
I will post again with more that I can remember later...pictures and video are coming! I have a spanish exam in the morning I should be studying for right now! (I also had to change my flight to fly back on Sunday instead of Monday as I originally planned because my study abroad program decided to give a final on Monday...)
