The most fascinating part was how the street layout hasn't changed. Normally, city streets follow a grid layout. London's streets haven't changed over time. A tour guide told me while I was there that if Shakespeare were to come back, he would recognize the streets but none of the buildings. I thought that was the coolest thing ever! I loved the city so much that I'm actually going back this summer for a three week study abroad program. I can't wait to explore more of London in the upcoming months!

Oh, this is great, Peyton: maybe you will want to do a London-based project for this class! There are lots of different ways you could put together a collection of London legends. Then you could go visit those exact places this summer: that would be so cool!
