Day 108

Almost close to the end! This morning I woke up early, grabbed breakfast for the first time this week, then headed to the British Library. I think I appreciated all the manuscripts a lot more, and there was even an exhibit on Alice and Wonderland that was specially going on during this time.  After that I went back to Richmond, and just had enough time to pack a little more before we had to meet for our walking tour. I missed both lunch and dinner, but we walked down to the Tube to get to Central London to meet our tour guide for a walk around Central London to see the Christmas Lights. It was pretty to see, but we had seen most of them already, but he told us a little bit about the history of them and why some decorations represented different things. It was really long though and total our trip was more than 4 hours. The coolest, coolest part of the night was that while we were walking around we ran into the Star Wars Premier. There was the red carpet, people dressed up, lightsabers everywhere, and I have a picture of Harrison Ford. Pretty awesome day. Afterwards we grabbed dinner at Tesco, the only place open at 10:30, and went back to campus. Tomorrow we are saying goodbye to Big Ben and central London.
