All Around London

Today we all went around London. We went to the Tower Bridge, William Shakespeare's globe theater and St Paul's Cathedral.

First, we all went to the Tower Bridge. When we got there we went into the North tower and we got our tickets and headed to the elevator. The elevator  took us up to the first exhibition. It was really cool, I learned that it took lots and lots of tools to build the bridge. Many men and then later in the years women buillt and had to know how to have patience, confidence, and be able to be strong. Then we headed down to the second exhibition, there was lots of thing here to learn about like the designing of the bridge and the making of it. The last exhibition was the engine room. There were some tools that they may of used to make this bridge lift when big boats needed  to get on the other side. From what I learned at the exhibitions was that there was lots of hard work and patience to build this bridge. To  rate this out of 10, it would be a 9. I would love to actually go to the lifting of the bridge place and learn how to do it. I know it's a bridge but has lots of learning and awesome details. It's a great place to visit.

Next, we alI went walking for 20 minutes to the globe. It's not any globe it's where William Shakespeare did his plays. We learned so much because we had audio guides telling us so much information to last us our life's. When we were just learning about the Rose theater, there was a person telling people to  come down to see how people dressed in the olden days. I thought it would be neat so I went down and sat to watch and then my family sat down with me. The people going to show us asked me to be their model to dress. I was going to be dressed as a shepherdess. I had to wear a thin gown and then I had to put on long socks that had to cover my knees and brown shoes, Next, I put on a thing that made ladies hips big, also I put on a skirt that was orange, then a black dress on the skirt.  Okay, and then finally a apron and a bonnet then I transformed into a lady shepherdess. I had so much fun and really enjoyed the experience. 


Finally we walked across the bridge and we entered St Paul's Cathedral, when we entered we went first to the entrance to the dome. We had to climb lots of stairs so we stopped at a different view place. The view was amazing you could see so much. When we were done looking at the tremendous landscape we went downstairs to the crips and we saw where many important people were buried. We got tired so we left and headed back home. The view from the top was exquisite.
