Bath and Stonehenge

Today was one of my favorite days so far on my trip in England. We went to Bath and Stonehenge. We went to Stongenge first and it was unbelievable. The sky was blue..perfect for the pictures...and it was just weird to think that it was 5,000 years old! After that we got back on the bus and headed towards Bath. This is the prettiest city I have seen so far...besides London. The buildings are romanctic and roman. There, we went to the Bath Museum. It has warm springs inside of them that the Romans used to bathe in. All around were old buildings and shops. You would walk to the end of the street and get the most amazing view of the town on the hill across the river. I got a magnet and a mosaic bowl for my mom. The pictures don't do it justice, although they are very pretty :)
Tomorrow I leave for Italy! I am almost done packing...just waiting on a few clothes to dry. We will be there from tomorrow until the 25th. I am so excited to get there. I am so fortunete to get this experience! AH! I decided to bring my laptop with me so that I can keep you all updated while I am there.
The pictures I am about to upload are from today, last wednesday in Brighton, and then a few weeks back when me and Amanda went to Hyde Park.

Update!

Hi! It's been a while since I have last written on here. I went to Amsterdam last weekend! It was a really neat city that I feel everyone should have the chance to visit, but boy am I so happy to be back in London. The flight was about 30 minutes, and when we got there, it was a gorgeous view. It was night time and the city was lit up. We finally found our hostile, which was right in front of the canal, and stayed up until about 2AM. We woke up early, had breakfast, and then me and Amanda had to check into our next hostile. We went to the Anne Frank house and the Van Gough museum. Both were really interesting. Other then that, Amsterdam was everything that you have heard of. Red light district, marijuana, and beautiful buildings. I was homesick for London, and we all literally ran back home from the tube station. It's certainly not a trip I will forget.
Other than that, I have just been going to school and hanging out with friends. Tomorrow we go to Bath and Stonehenge! A bus will pick us all up at our flats at 8AM and we will return around 7PM. I can't believe I am going there! AH!!!! The pictures will be so pretty!
Speaking of pictures, I have so many to upload. Once again, my computer is messed up, and it won't let me drag pictures so that I can make new albums. I will borrow a friends computer soon and upload everything. I heard the weather has been nice at home. Wish it were the same for here. It has actually been rather cold here!
Thursday evening, me and 11 others are going to Italy! We will fly to Rome and stay there for two nights and three days, then take the train to Florence, where we will stay for one night and two days, and then travel again by train to Venice where we will stay for the rest of our trip. Not meaning to brag....but....I'M GOING TO ITALY! There is so much to see there. I love museums! I am not sure how much I will be able to write on here while I am there. I will be gone from the 17th through the 25th. Love you all and hope you can enjoy my pictures sometime soon!

Love, Morgan

Peter Pan, Big Ben, & Brighton

I'm finally back in my flat after a long but amazing day in Brighton! The train ride took about 50 minutes. We got off and the town was so pretty. We walked through the streets with all the small shops and then went to the Royal Pavilion. King George, Queen Victoria, and other royals have lived there in the past. It's very beautiful inside. After that, we were set to do whatever we wanted. Me and the other girls went to a cheap cafe and had a good time. One of our homework assignments was to ask the locals questions, good thing we had a few beers in us! haha. Then we went to the Atlantic Ocean! Ah it was so pretty! There isn't sand, it's rocks instead. Of course me being me, I wanted a picture of me standing in water. I put on my rain-boots, and then a huge wave came and almost knocked me over. I WAS DRENCHED! Don't forget it is cold out. Me and my friend Courtney then saw the Brighton pier and wanted to go on this upside down ride. We were the only two people on it, so to balance it out one of us had to be at the top and one at the bottom. We were by ourselves! It was over the ocean, so it was scary, but awesome! I stopped at the top, and was just hanging over the water. It was breathtaking and emotional. I can't believe I am getting this amazing experience.
We went to a few shops and I found a place with everything Wizard of Oz! I was so excited! I bought a key chain, a few posters, and this great collection of coasters. I loved Brighton, it  has such a different atmosphere then London! The pictures I'm about to load are from a sunday walk me and Amanda took through Hyde Park on Sunday, Pictures of us in London on Monday, and then Brighton. Enjoy!

Love,

Morgan

Busy Week

Hello! Hope you all are doing well. I haven't been on here in a while! The last thing I told you all about was going to Oxford University last Wednesday. Over the weekend, we went to a few clubs and then last night I had dinner with Valerie and then I got together with all of my friends to watch the superbowl. It was so late here, so now we are all exhausted this afternoon. Dinner with Valerie was so nice. We went to Queens Arms to eat and we planned our weekend trip to Wisbech, which is where my grandma is from. She is going to show me where my grandma and grandpa got married, where my grandma used to live, my grandpa's base during the war, and then I will have dinner with some relatives to meet them. I am so excited that I am getting to do this!
Today we went inside parliament. It was so beautiful and has so much history. Unfortunately we couldn't take pictures :( Later today, I have class at the Tate Modern which is a museum. I am going to take a quick nap before then. Later I will upload pictures of Hyde Park from yesterday!

Looking forward to going to Brighton on Wednesday. I've heard it is so pretty with it being on the coast and everything.

Love,

Morgan

Oxford and Football Game

:)

Sorry I haven't posted since Tuesday! I have had a long week as usual. Wednesday, we all went to Oxford University. It was so pretty! Harry Potter based it's dinner hall off of the dining hall at Oxford University, so it's crazy to walk in there and it look exactly like the one in the movie. We also walked on the steps that the Harry Potter characters walked on during the movie! I bought a sweatshirt and a few other things because our tour guide/professor got us all a discount. Unfortunately it was really cold out yesterday. But today the sky was all blue without a could and about 50 degrees. We had class and then we hungout around the flat until we went out to a club called Tiger Tiger. It was really fun and had three floors. I am exhausted right now, but I'm going to upload pictures for you all to see! Keep warm...I've heard the weather is horrible back home!
