Quick little tidbit I found out...

While I was in London the first day, after I visited the Tower Bridge Experience, I had decide to try to go to the London Bridge Experience (they're two different bridges! Tower Bridge is the one that raises!) However, I had gotten there, and even though their brochure said they were still open - they were closed. Since I was in the area, I figured I'd swing by to get a glimpse of the reconstructed Globe Theater. Well, while I was walking in that area, I ended up walking down a very dark and closed in street. I noticed the street sign said Clink Street, and there was the Clink Street Prison museum thingy there as well. I didn't think anything of it at the time, I might have taken a picture of the sign as well... but while researching what I would like to do when I head back to London for a day or two - I came across somewhere that Clink Street was where Charles Dicken's father was imprisoned. It is this area that also helped to inspire him to write Oliver Twist! I thought that was a bit of interesting stories to share!

Things are going good... classes are becoming tiresome and tedious as they usually do around this time, though I am looking forward to the weeks to come as spring is here and the flower gardens and trees will be blooming! Yay! Well, I'm off to finish my homework for class... laterz!
