Tomorrow, my mom and I plan to leave London for a few days as we travel to Paris. We will return on Sunday and spend the night at the Pax Lodge. I am so excited to go back because it was so fun the first time. I loved learning the history of the lodge and meeting all kinda of new people from all over the world! If you're ever in London, make a stop there. It's a wonderful experience and you always have the option to stay there if you are a member of WAGGGS.
Yesterday, we went on a tour that went to Warwick Castle, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Oxford. I loved seeing Warwick Castle, most of which was made in the 14th century, yet the oldest part was built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century. We saw a bird show there and had Cream Tea and explored the castle, climbing to the highest tower. Stratford is the birthplace of William Shakespeare. It was so cool to get to see his birthplace and where he is buried at the Trinity Chapel. We had some lunch and explored a little before heading to Oxford. Oxford was incredible, the old structures of the college were marvelous.
Today we got to see (part of) the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace. We also walked to Big Ben again and the Eye and stopped for some tea in St. James Park. We made our way down to Abbey Road, and then to Oxford Circus for a little shopping.
