The Tower of London

The Tower of London  
(Officially the coolest tower I've ever been to)

Rachel, Bailey, Megan, Maia, and I went to go see the Tower of London!!!


Megan, Rachel, and I decided to take a tour.




This was a tour-guide (i.e. a beefeater) His name was Rob.










There were giant biting ravens. There were actually guards whose job it was to carry around sticks and chase the ravens away. 

 Traitor's Gate
 We weren't allowed to take pictures once inside, but they were very sparkly.
 This marked the spot where many famous executions occurred, including that of Anne Boleyn. 


Graffiti of the tower prisoners. 


An elephant just chillin' (The tower also used to be a zoo)


The armoury

  The chopping block
Tower bridge




After our tour, we met up with Tarini, Maia, Bailey, and Amy at the Swan by the Globe theater for dinner



We walked along the Thames to get there



 Amy and Rachel enjoying their sausages (okay, okay, bangers and mash)
 We dined by candlelight
After dinner we met up with Mike and went and saw The Artist. It was delightful






All in all, just your typical Wednesday here in London town
