The second week of classes went well, a little stressful and long since I have all my classes on Monday and Wednesday but I made it through them just fine. Other than reading, going to class, and exploring London I've been mostly sleeping. On wednesday we went to the London Eye which was amazing. The night we went the skies were clear so you could see for 20+ miles in every direction. On Friday for my history class we took a trip to Chartwell, Winston Churchill's former estate as well as Ightam Mote, a manor house that dates back to 1330. Here are some pictures below from this week! The manor house was quite amazing, considering just how old it was and the property around it was beautiful. Chartwell was probably my favorite just because it was located on a hill in the countryside where you could see for miles around. It's an amazing piece of history and still contains countless artifacts that pay tribute to Churchill including his personal collection of paintings that he painted, who knew he was an artist?
Great pictures! It all looks so lovely. The flower picture was amazing. It is hard to grasp how old things are over there. Keep sending the pics!
