A match! 'tis done

Alright, so today were writing all about Thursday.  Thursday stared off really boring, basically classes and homework and showering and eating leftovers for lunch and the like, but then things got more exciting later on.

We went to a cricket match!  Yeah, it was pretty cool.  We all thought that it was going to be some sort of small game, not a lot of people, and that we would go and think oh cool, cricket.  You know, whatever.  Except then we were exiting the Tube stop and realized that the continuous stream of people moving in one direction were all going to the cricket match.  It was like going to a BYU football game.  I guess that people really do like cricket.  Groups of young men, all of these people who had clearly just gotten off work in the business district (blue shirts and cases), families with all of their small children, and mostly just lots and lots of men.  That was a problem later.

Anyway, cricket was pretty cool.  I read up on the very basics of it (at risk of sounding like Hermione) so we were able to follow alright.

At the cricket match!

Yeah, but unfortunately, we were all rather quickly bored of it, because obviously cricket's not our game.  I've noticed that if I walk sports unaccompanied by an enthusiast, my attention span is really short.  So Sydnie, Corey and I told stories to each other.  The ridiculous sort where everyone tells one line and the idea is to move the ridiculous plot line forward if possible.  Yeah, it was fun.  Luckily we were able to drown out the noise of the men sitting in front of us who were getting progressively more and more drunk.  So, because we were happily entertaining ourselves, we left early and went to Abbey Road.

Abbey Road!  There's lots of graffiti there (quite understandably). 

We did get a crossing the road pic (someone else's camera).  Not an exact copy, but there were four of us!  It's hard to take pictures in the middle of the road because there's cars always passing by, mostly taxis.  It was pretty neat though, and shout out to the Beatles!

Then we went on the Bloomsbury walk.  It was my last one, so that was exciting in and of itself.  Amy, Sydnie, Corey and I went on the walk.  Amy was leading, although Corey assisted at certain points (like when we ran into a garden that was locked and had to go around and therefore got lost.)  We passed by some pretty cool things, like a street called Handel Street (he did some concerts there to help support a hospital), and the house where Charles Dickens lived.  The highlight was the British Museum.

Back of the British Museum.  There were lions.  Yeah.

In front of the British Museum.  We're cool.

Anyway, cool walk with not an awful lot of getting lost, which is the really important part.  It was nice too because we just were able to chat a bunch and now I know where the British library is.  Got in a few good flower pictures too and saw lots of lovely circular blue plaques that have come to define my life.

Yeah, so then we headed back to the Center, with a short stop in Tesco.  We most definitely bought Krispy Kreme doughnuts.  Because, okay, they had mango cheesecake doughnuts.  They have been taunting me every single time that I walked into that store, and so we bought them and a pint of milk and took them home so that we could just sit and collapse.
