Monday was our first day of class. We had it at the place called the Dickens Inn, very near our hotel. The room was really nice, and our speakers were amazing! We had a great first day at class. Monday evening we didn't do too much - Kristen and I went to the Covent Garden area and had Italian food for dinner. After that we had the most amazing hot chocolate from a place called Paul's. It was so good that we went back today.
Today (Tuesday) we had class in the heart of the financial district at the Willis building (they are the ones who bought the Sears Tower) Notice how in the picture I'm not even wearing a coat (and might be a little chilly...)
The view on the outside of the Willis building was really awesome. Tomorrow we're going back to the infamous Lloyd's of London on a tour. The Lloyd's building is really unique because all of the pipes are stainless steel and are on the outside of the building. You can see part of it on the right side of the picture below.
One important lesson we learned today is that British people are only really in the office in the morning. The afternoon is spent making deals over a few pints at the pubs. We experienced this first hand at 230pm. This picture is actually taken at a pub down Diagon Alley for you Harry Potter fans.
Class ran late, so we booked it back to the hotel, changed and headed straight for the theatre district. We went with the Dans to see Dirty Dancing! The show was spectacular - the choreography was amazing! We all really enjoyed it!
Well, that's about all for today. Tomorrow we have a full day of class, a visit to Lloyd's over lunch, and a our much anticipated trip to the spa in the evening! AND there's no rain in the forecast! Thank goodness!
Hope you're all having a great week! :)
