Brussels today!

Yesterday was an eventful Wednesday. I woke up and got a nice workout in then got ready for my historic london class (the walking tour of london). We met at Tower Hill, the tube stop for the Tower of London, but to my surprise and dismay, we talked very little about the tower it's self and didn't even get to see the bridge. We did get to walk through the origin of the London fire, Lloyd's building, and the area where Diagon Alley (spelling?) from Harry Potter was filmed.  By the end of the two hours I was pretty tired. It felt like we were moving the whole time! After class me and some of the guys stopped for dinner at the place called Tortilla. It is the closest thing to Chipotle they have here but not quite as good. After dinner, Patrick and I were on the search for some dessert and we discovered Ben's Cookies. They are pretty big around here but this was my first experience. They were to die for! I wish that I could ship everyone home their warm, gooiness. We then took the tube back home and I had a little down time (where I could up on Desperate Housewives) before heading to the ballet.  I went to see Romeo and Juliet for my Performing Arts class. The ballet was beautiful and the dancers were all very talented and full of expression. But it was 3 hours longggg. There were scenes that just seemed to dragggg. I know it's probably because I have very little appreciation for dance and have never taken a dance class in my life but still I think they could have done it within a two hour time frame.
Today I am off to Brussels!! Our train departs at 2:30 and we will arrive in Belgium at 5:30. I am very excited! I will take lots of pictures and share all my stories! 
Just to let you all (mainly my mother) know, I will not be taking my laptop because I don't want to risk it getting stolen in the hostel. SO i will most likely on be updating for the next few days (at least until Monday night). I will try to get online if there is a computer in the lobby, but don't think the worst if you don't hear from me :)
