Some say the plague was in 1350 but I beg to differ. Almost everyone has been sick within the past week. Sore throats, runny noses, and fevers have broken out in the flats and it has been miserable for most. Boots, the local pharmacy, has seen many GLS students head for the Sudafed and Tylenol. Luckily, I think all will be well in a few days.
Even with the sickness, the group traveled to the Tower of London on Friday. The Tower of London is the oldest remaining functional castle in England. It was first constructed almost 1000 years ago and has expended through time. It starts as a large tower directly in the center followed by a circular wall and again followed by another circular wall. The Tower of London was tightly secured on all sides and was never taken by siege. The tower has served as the royal family's home, the London zoo, and the military arsenal. Today, its purpose is to remain functional and remind visitors of its past.
When visiting the tower you can view the entire collection of crown jewels, which are jaw-dropping spectacles of diamonds and gold, or you can stand where King Henry VIII beheaded many of his wives during the search for a son. The torture chamber is open for viewing where instruments of torture are on display. My personal favorite part about the Tower of London was the beauty of the castle itself. The castle was built in phases and expanded as needed throughout the years, but it somehow looked complete as if built in one piece. The Tower of London was certainly a trip to remember.
