Jet Lag is not our friend!


WE HAVE ARRIVED! We got here around 6:30 a.m. after a long tedious flight (for me and Caitlin, Terri was in first class). We found our flat and then it was off to visit the V&A museum (Victoria and Albert). Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the V&A doesn't have any artifacts other that a bust of each of them. We did get to see a few cool things while we were there!

These are all horns that were flattened for this project. They are suspended from the ceiling!

Can you believe that women would actually wear this to a dance? Maybe not the best English invention.
They had some things for us to try on!

After we left the museum we saw this:
It was reserved for a wedding. How fun would that be?


Once we got done at the V&A where I experienced my first british scone and cream (which is to die for) we headed back to the flat. I wasn't feeling very well after the jet lag so me and Caitlin stayed at the flat and took a nap while Terri ventured on to Tate Modern museum. She saw a couple of Van Gogh paintings and probable some other freaky stuff because it is a modern art museum. She went to the tower bridge and a couple of other places. 

Tomorrow we are going to a couple of antique places and go ride the London Eye! So check back later!
KEEP CALM, CARRY ON!
