"I puked and shat my pants at the same time"
Nice story, Alissa.
Today was one of the busier days since I've been here, and it's only going to get busier from here on out. This morning we dragged ourselves out of bed way too early to catch a 10:00 "flight" on the London Eye, the world's largest ferris wheel. The views were amazing - each capsule holds about 30 people, and it's completely glass so you've got a 360 degree view. The whole ride lasts for a half hour.
Then Deanna and I went to the Tower of London, which I'd been too before, but I'm so glad I went back. After we rode past the Crown Jewels on the people mover for the second time, Deanna's eyes glazed over and she said in a monotone, "I wanna go again."
After class (which sucked as usual), I took a nap then grabbed some dinner. Then D and I went out again, to take a walking tour called "Apparitions, alleyways and ales." We saw some atmospheric hidden alleys, learned some history, stopped in a pub for the strongest cider I've ever had, nearly lost the group, and heard some killer ghost stories (including the one about Gyro, the German ambassador's dead dog whose ghost caused traffic accidents during the blackout).
Early morning tomorrow, and a full day. I ought to get a good night's sleep, but I wouldn't bet on it.
