Crypts and Castles

Holly and I have been in London for almost two weeks and its been absolutely amazing! Pretty much everyday we have been working in the rotunda in the Museum of London which has amazing working conditions compared to the crypt at St Brides. It's a little cramped but we find a way to make it work by creating our own tables.



 One of the skulls we used at St Brides still had hair on its head!! It kind of grossed us all out a little, and according to Holly "it made it seem a little less dead than the others."

 On Saturday, Holly and I made the day trip to Windsor Castle. We even figured out how the train station works and managed to get there on time, which I think is pretty amazing! When we got there the castle was visible in the distance and our jaws dropped. Holly had to keep reminding herself to close her mouth from all of the jaw dropping while at the castle. When we were there we took a tour and our tour guide told us that when this specific flag is flying over the tower then it means the Queen is there, so lucky us we were touring the Queen's summer castle while she was there! No, we were not able to see her but it was still pretty awesome. I definitely advise everyone to go see Windsor castle, it was outstanding and each room we went into was more amazing than the last. We only got to see a small section of the castle but I was completely satisfied with what we saw. On our way back to the train station we passed a mini-tower that came right up to the sidewalk so of course I had to try and storm the castle, I mean who wouldn't?!
