Yesterday we visited the Museum of London. The museum was divided into sections based on the early times of London to the present. Despite there being many important time events in London’s history, I was more drawn to the evolution of the currency and the archeological findings. Coins…
Today our class took a day trip to Oxford. We started by taking a bus to Oxford, England which lasted about an hour and a half long. The route was very scenic with rolling green hills, yellow fields, and farm animals such as sheep and cows filling the pastures. Rain…
