We decided to take on the day over a hot bowl of porridge. Ran into STA travel hoping to quickly (quickly being the key word) buy tickets to Pari, however, the agent informed us that it would cost us 175 pounds. I immediately thought I was not going to be able to eat for a week due to the high costs, while Gretchen turned into our own travel agent and booked a flight for 75 pounds (still expensive, but we were not about to pay 175).
Afterwards, we headed to a market, but it started raining, so we opted for something indoors. The British Library is a well kept secret of tourists. Not busy, extremely interesting, and beautiful design. We saw the original magna carta, Beatles' scratch pad of notes, the original Beowulf, and journals of "greats" like James Cook ---- not to mention Shakespeare, Chopin, Bach, Mozart.
Then headed to what we thought was a traditional happy hour with Jennas' co-workers, but was really their definition of dinner (drinks drinks and more drinks ((starting with a glass of wine and immediately followed by a shot of tequila, the British love American Girls)) ).
Cheers!
