Abbey Road

As a Beatles fan, one of the things I really wanted to do when I came to England was mimic the iconic Beatles cover photo in front of Abbey Road Studio. So of course I did it, sans two people, but still.

Being at Abbey Road was really cool. There's a white wall in front of the Abbey Road Studio that fans scribble away on, writing messages and their names and dates and all of that. I, of course, did as well; "Strawberry Fields Forever, Kristy '12."

After that, my friends and I (without Ellen, who was working on a project for class) went on a Jack the Ripper Tour through our program. It was...interesting. Only one of the significant places in the story still exists, so it was a lot of walking to a place near an important place, and while the tour guide was very knowledgeable, some of the descriptions of things were pretty gross. I might pick up a book on the matter when I get home, though.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, and since my friends and I are obviously American, we're planning to go to a restaurant that has "American" food. We'll see. Anyway, Happy July 4th, everyone!
