My So Called Parisian Life: Tower of London

Yesterday's adventures included a trip and tour around the Tower of London. The last time I was here was in 2006 with my family and all I could think about was when we were looking at the crown jewels and my sister was looking looking looking and then smacked her head into the glass...classic Chelsea move. Anyway, we learned all about the story of the ravens and how it is said that when the ravens leave the tower and the queen will fall, so they clip the wings of the birds. We also learned about traitors gate and all the beheadings. Did you know that the Tower is where the king used to live? That is why they still have guards there because it used to be a royal palace before they moved to Buckingham Palace. Pretty cool right? When the tour was over we walked around and went into the other towers. I really liked seeing all the old horse saddlery and the horse's armor. That was really cool!

Today has been a cold, rainy, miserable day, which I suppose is alright! When I was skyping with my family earlier Zoey made a guest appearance. I miss her so much! My roommates and I are all just relaxing and getting prepared for classes to start tomorrow. I'm excited but nervous at the same time, so we'll see what happens!
