DAY ONE:

Arrival:
When we arrived, we took the Brit-rail from the London-Gatwick airport into London. We have a 15 day Brit-rail pass, which means we can ride the train (to locations in England, Scotland and Wales) on any 15 days within a certain time limit – I think it is 60 days. The train was very, very crowded. We were packed together like sardines. It took about an hour to get into London, and from there we went to straight to where we are staying. As soon as we were checked in and put our bags in our rooms, we headed to CarPhone Warehouse where we all got prepaid phones.

Trafalgar Square:
From there we walked around the city, and ended up at Trafalgar Square, and although it was very crowed, I loved it. There were some people playing soccer in the middle of the square, others sitting around the fountain, lots of people (Like us) taking photographs and others even putting on a dance show. From there we went to dinner. At this point I was about to fall asleep just standing there. I was beat. Our teacher wanted us to stay up though and not fall asleep to early to try and fight the jet-lag the next day. After eating dinner, we got some ice cream and then headed back to hotel. Some people decided to walk the couple of miles back, but Mallory, Clinton and I decided to take the underground (which is equivalent to our subway) back to the apartments.
