I can't believe how fast time is going by - there're only three and a half more weeks left before I'll be heading back home! It seems like now more than ever is going by even faster than before.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit London! We went to Regents Park, saw the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour on our first day. Our second day was the British Library, British Museum, King's Cross Station, and seeing the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, the London Eye, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar's Square. It definitely was busy, but I loved every minute of it!

This past week was getting back into the swing of things, on top of projects and homework. On Thursday we went to an archive close to our school to see medieval documents and their collection of books. I was in seventh heaven, and some of the documents dated back to the 12th century! The museum part of me went into observation mode, so it was interesting to see a Spanish archive for the first time. Yesterday we went on an excursion to La Granja, which is a palace near Segovia. It was built by a French king that was also king of Spain, so La Granja is also known as "little Versailles." The gardens were gorgeous and everything over here is starting to blossom into spring. Tomorrow we're going on another excursion to the Prado and Reina Sofia art museums in Madrid for the day!
