Fish + Chips and Homesickness

I finally had some good fish and chips, except they weren't mine, they were Jenny's. We ate a nice place called the Prince of Wales.

Jenny and I went to Hampton Court, which I have no pictures of. Sorry guys! I think I was too busy trying to figure out the audio set/listening to the audio set to take any (or maybe I was camera-d out...?). Hampton Court is beautiful, however. The home of the famous king Henry the VII. You know the one who created the Protestant Church, married Anne Boleyn...that guy.

My favorite part of the whole thing was getting lost in the maze, near closing time. Haha, what an adventure! Jenny and I nearly freaked out, not to mention you could hear this creepy music playing as you walked further and further into the maze, thinking you were close to getting out, when really you were just headed to the middle of the maze. We were bummed to say the least, but laughed about it. No point having a panic attack in the middle of an old maze, screaming out for help...right? That's what we thought.

I'd love to tell you about the history and story of Hampton Court, but I would say it's something to be experienced yourself (with a confusing audio set).

I think I got homesick the second day we were in London. I soldiered on however, and tried to experience everything and keep my mind off of my family (and my phone!).

All in all I had a great time in London despite the many slip-ups of UEL, our host university. Next time I will know to bring my laptop and more shirts.

Now I know where to go to get good fish and chips, right Jenny?

Thanks for sharing yours. I'm still trying to forget the nastiness of the fish and chips I had at Garfunkels, a local British chain.

The picture I have up here is of Millenium Bridge, a completely pedestrian bridge. You can see St. Pauls in the background.
