Well That Didn't Work

THE BIBLE, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TO BE ACCEPTED AS FACT or THURSDAY IN LONDON
Today found me at the Tower of London.

The 11 pound ($22.00) admission was well worth it; it was absolutely fascinating. I'm going to have to buy some books on the history of England when I go home. You know, the more I study history, the more I believe I was born in the wrong time period, far too late. Sometimes I think I only study it in the hopes of actually being there, which I (obviously) know can not be.

I think I'd like to live here one day. Besides the dreary weather, I quite like it here. Perhaps this is where I'll study abroad. Here or Rome, both history rich places. God, I love to learn. Alex says the reason people think I never have any fun is because they don't understand that learning is fun to me.

Anyway, I stayed in the tower until in closed when I went to meet Jeff for dinner and yet another show, The Bible: the Complete Word of God, Abridged by, you guessed it, The Reduced Shakespeare Company. It was brilliant. Among the top ten commandments that didn't make it onto the tablets: 8. Thou shalt go to thy son's wedding, even if it is his second and he's marrying a horse (Prince Charles and Camilla.) 6. The Christian right shall be neighther truly Christian or right. 4. Mind the gap. It was great.
