Chartwell and Greenwich

Our final excursion took us to Chartwell and Greenwich. Chartwell is where Churchill lived, mainly during his years as prime minister. It was cool seeing the furniture and other artifacts that were there, and the garden and surrounding areas are lovely. After visiting Chartwell, we went to Greenwich for a bit. I went up with some people from the other study abroad program to the observatory, where I walked on the prime meridian and went into a mini exploratory.

Yesterday we saw our final play at the Globe, The Comedy of Errors, which was short, but well done. I have 8 more days left, and am going to the National Portrait Gallery tomorrow, and am hoping to get to the British Museum at some point before I leave. I only have three more days left of class, and two days of finals. Today marked the end of our "required" excursions. Aside from attending classes and an evening meeting on Sunday, we are free to do whatever we want. Hope you have a good rest of the week, and I will try to post one more entry before I leave!
