Day 2

I am having to backdate my blog; I've been so busy that I haven't had time to update it; however, I promise I'll be faithful in my writing from now on. Day 2 was a very busy day. We got our travel cards at Russell Square Station. Now I can travel on The Tube anytime that I want to for a whole month in Zone 1 and 2. So, Dr. Bibbee and Dr. Peterson gave us an assignment today called "The Amazing Race." Ashley, Jordan, Lacy, and I ran all over the city trying to find eight sites in about five hours. I almost died from exhaustion; I was so hot from feeling bad, and being out of shape. The funniest thing was when we were trying to find China Bank. China Bank had been moved from its original location, as well as Peter Ackroyd's book on London didn't give an accurate address. Our group came in next to last; however, we had a good time. I met some really good new friends that day: Jordan and Lacy are awesome.  I will have to add that they are my personal trainers on this trip. We met the group at the London Eye, and Dr. Peterson bought ice cream for everyone. I was so hungry, so I went down the street to get my first "fish and chips." It was really good.  I am not sure of the name of the place; it's just down from the London Eye. The lady noticed my Alabama accent; I'll have to work on that.
