Sunday we went to the Museum of London to work on an extra credit assignment. That afternoon we relaxed, and then went to Hyde Park to listen to Jay-Z perform at his outdoor concert.
Monday morning we went on a walking tour of London led by Professor Selanders. She's been heading this study abroad group now for the past 15 years! So she was definitely qualified as our tour guide. We had class later that afternoon, and that evening we went to the theatre to see "The woman in black". The play itself was alright, but I felt that we could have seen something better for the price of our ticket. The picture directly below is an ancient entrance that used to sit right on the Thames River and people had to walk through to enter the city:
Florence Nightingale herself:
Some of us girls before the play:
Hannah! My UofM friend =)
Today we had class in the morning and after lunch we traveled to see the Florence Nightingale Museum and St. Thomas’ Hospital. Unfortunately we were unable to tour the hospital because there was someone of “royal importance”. We asked if it was Prince William or Henry but we never did find the answer…
The Florence Nightingale Museum was really interesting; there was a ton of items that was used by Nightingale herself—including a lamp that she carried with her during the Crimean War. There was also outfits worn by Florence and some of her journals that she kept note in while she was a nurse.
