Shakespeare's House

It was cool to go into Shakespeare's house. I was able to see videos about him and about the Globe Theater's fire. He was a vey famous writer who wrote a lot of plays.

I learned that all little boys would wear dresses until they were a certain age. Because they believed that a bad spirit was killing the boys but not the girls. So they thought to put on the girls' dresses on the boys so the bad spirit would be confused and not take them.

Tea Time

Today we went to the Fourteas for afternoon tea. I didn't drink tea. I don't like it. I had homemade apple juice that tasted like apple cider.

It was really fun. We ate lots of unhealthy stuff - cupcakes, cookies, brownies. I also had a yummy chicken sandwich. It was cut into tiny, tiny triangles. I loved eating the cupcakes.

Fun in London

Yesterday we went to the Tower of London. There were a lot of cool things to learn about and look at.

I met a Beefeater (a Yeoman Warder) and saw a palace soldier. He had a red coat and a big black hat. We got to see him march. I saw the Bloody Tower were the prisoners went. Then they got their heads chopped off.

Today I woke up at 4am. I was the first one awake. Later we went to Westminster Abbey, saw Big Ben, took a boat on Thames River and went to Greenwich.
