Day 16

Today was the last day in London! Boy, the memories that have been made here. Anyway, the day basically consisted of going to the Tower of London. I actually wore the free shirt that I won yesterday at the National Gallery...and it garnered me some looks, let me tell you.

But it's awesome because it almost says Trevor backwards in the mirror! :D It really says poverty...but a man can dream.
The Tower of London was pretty amazing! Once we arrived, Ed and I decided that we would get some really delicious-looking hot dogs, only to later discover - too late in fact - that we made the worst decision of our lives. The hot-dogs were not good. At all. :( Oh well, we then went with Jeff to go take pictures of the bridge and then got scolded by Dr. Foy when we got back for going missing.

We ended up having the awesome tour guide from before! She really made the tour so much better because of her amazing antics. Anyway, as we were gazing upon the magical "tower", Rachel accidentally let her ticket fly away and it landed over the fence. I then proceeded to gallantly hop over the fence, retrieve the ticket for her, and receive a round of applause. It was beauteous. We then had the tour of the tower, which was incredible. One thing that really jumped out at me were the awesome ravens, which had me and Jeff entranced. I took SO many pictures of them, it was ridiculous.

We got a walk-through and saw all of the fantastic artwork and jewelry/armor that everybody wore back in the day, and I became jealous because I wanted everything. It turned out that the place was used not only for royalty but also for royal people who were in trouble. They basically went there before they were sent to the gallows or let free - two children even disappeared there! Anyway, one sad thing about the whole event was that the cod-piece was missing. It was really disheartening. :( Dylan, Jake and Nate all got giant lollipops and ate them to their enjoyment until they eventually threw them away in disgust. All except Jake, of course, who wanted to get his money's worth. Oh, and we finally got to see a guard up-close! :D Enjoy all the following pictures of the tower! (There's actually 24 towers, but who needs to know right?)

As it was the last night in London, we of course decided that we had to hit the town and party it up. I packed beforehand, knowing that we had to wake up early and that it would be a pain in the buttox to do it in the morning. I basically ended up going dancing with Kristine, Ed, Jake, Rachel, Chloe, Parker, Dylan, and Nate. We tried to meet up with Amy and Honi, but that failed. :( It was a fun night though! :D
