Friday everyone in the school went to London for a field trip. We went to the National Gallery, and the National Portrait Gallery first. I had already been to these museums, but of course I hadn't seen everything. The weather was so nice that I didn't even have to wear a coat, and we ate our lunches in front of these museums.
That afternoon we went to St. Paul's Cathedral. This is such a neat church. We went on a tour of the main floor and the tombs in the bottom floor. After the tour was over I climbed 500 steps to get to the top of the building. It was a really great view of the city from up there. After the cathedral, I went with my theatre class to watch a play called Major Barbara. It was a pretty good play. We didn't get back to the manor until 2 this morning, and I was sore and tired.
Then I had to be ready to leave at 8 this morning to go to Cadbury World. I was so excited about this because I LOVE chocolate. We went on a tour of the history of chocolate and how they make their chocolate. I always thought that Cadbury only made the chocolate eggs at Easter but they make all kinds of chocolate. The main chocolate distributor in England is Cadbury, and their chocolate is sooooo good!! We got free chocolate bars during the tour and bought a lot of chocolate at the gift store.
We left Cadbury World at 1 and then went to Birmingham. This is a big shopping city. It was neat but not some place I would want to go again. I was glad when we got back on the bus so I could have a 2 hour nap and sit down. I am so tired now!
