13.5 hours of sleep does a body real good!  So does a large english breakfast, which consists of bacon, egg, a stange (but good) sausage, beans, cooked tomato, toast, and tea or coffee.  After that amazing start to the day, we got to work burnning off those Calories with another, larger tour of the city.  Today’s tour got us used to the London Underground (the subway system), and we visited many of the venues and sites that we’ll ned to find later for mandatory performances.

My group (music) visited Barbican’s Centre, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Tate Modern, The National Theatre, Westminster, and The Royal Opera House.  Other exciting occurances were witnessing my first May Day celebration (and first time talking with Communitsts), getting the hang of the Tube (there seems to be 3x the number of lines as the Chicago L), and exploring some more of our neigborhood by myself afterwards.

Having been on Study-Service Term in Senegal this time last year, I keep trying to relate these experiences with those past ones.  However, I think I’m slowly learning to just take things as they come, one day (and step) at a time.
