From the moment I arrived, I was amazed by the city\u2019s energy and the size of it all. I spent my week all through many areas of London such as Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, and Windsor Castle. One of my favorite parts was going into all the museums because they were all free and they were taken care of well and the size of all of the museums was very impressive compared to any I\u2019ve been to here, especially the Natural History Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the week, I felt like I had only scratched the surface of everything London has to offer. I enjoyed trying British food since it was so different from ours. It was fun to try places we have here in the U.S. but seeing the differences there. Although my time spent there felt so short and I felt as if there was plenty more to see, a week was just enough to see what London has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2sGeH8j\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55589303156_6c03fd1b4f_z.jpg\" alt=\"National Gallery\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">National Gallery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2sGgN9B\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55589710275_824bfed616_z.jpg\" alt=\"Gems from Natural History Museum\" width=\"482\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gems from Natural History Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2sGgN9G\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55589710280_43c768a661_z.jpg\" alt=\"Chinatown\" width=\"487\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chinatown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2sGeH8e\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55589303151_2ae017c0f0_z.jpg\" alt=\"Guards marching into Windsor Castle\" width=\"483\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Guards marching into Windsor Castle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-photo is-provider-flickr wp-block-embed-flickr\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2sG9ndR\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55588260637_0c1c77bff0_z.jpg\" alt=\"Moai from the British Museum\" width=\"485\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Moai from the British Museum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spending a week in London felt like stepping into a big city where many cultures and people gathered to have a good time.
