Day 5
Today I decided to go off my own since I hadn't really done that yet and my new friends (so new I don't remember their names) from UCLA wanted to go to the aquarium. But tonight we're meeting up for dinner.My goals were:
Walk down the river path.
Go the sunday market.
Go to the Museum of London.
Go to the British Library.
Visit a park.
AND find a cheaper internet cafe.
I took my walk and went to the library. Then it was somehow 5 pm and the Hans Christian Anderson exhibit was closing so I headed back. I was proud of myself for navigating about myself I only got myself into one sketchy neighborhood (not so much sketch as under construction and abandoned) due to a wrong turn but I went around the block and found my way out. I am now using the too expensive internet and I need to decide about my hostel situation because this is my last booked night here. I want to go to Oxford for the weekend I think. I can't afford to go anywhere else. Or maybe I'll go early next week. I'm so glad I chose to spend so much time here because I still feel like I haven't seen enough.
A final thought:
Australians say "heaps" instead of "lots".
Over and out.

Hey! I love being able to keep up with your trip--your blog is now my homepage. It's sounds like you are having a blast. I'm glad you are finding so many people. I'm jealous! It makes me wish I could be there with you.
But I'm having a blast here, too. I LOVE my class--they are so much fun. I have a few class clowns, but so far they have been good about keeping it under control. And I have one drama queen who has cried three out of the four days we have been in school-- mostly because I have taken away her ruler and/or scissors when she refused to put them away. But hopefully, if I just pretend I don't see her crying, she will give up and quit. But other than that, they seem to be pretty easy-going. We'll see how things develop this week.
I'm so glad things are going well for you! Keep up the blog--I hope you find cheaper internet access. Lisette
Ahhhh!! Brannon! I miss you!!
oops! That was me, Meagan Lewis by the way! hehe!
HI Brannon,
I am really enjoying keeping up with your adventures. ENJOY!!! I love you. Aunt Joan
It's 6:00 our time. Just tried the phone again to no avail. Are you getting the voice messages? We'll try again at 7 (midnight London time).

Hey honey, I just want you to know that I love you and miss you. I can't wait to hear what comes next.
Love Always,
Asha
Wow! It was so good to hear your voice.
I hope we didn't disturb your roommates too much. It sounds like you are having a ball and learning a lot.
I'm glad you've found a better hostel deal and are staying in London another week.
We found the website for the London Eye. I was completely ignorant of it. I hope you get a chance to ride it.
I also hope you get a chance to see a good musical or two while you are there. Next Sunday you should try to get into some historic church, like Westminster. I wonder if there's a Methodist/Wesley tour to be had.
Good night, Beautiful!
