Well today was the last day we had to go to the National Gallery. Honestly, I was kind of sad. We have gone to the National Gallery so many times and I really have come to love it there. We saw a lot of Monet paintings and Van Gogh, Manet and Pissaro. They are all just so beautiful. We also went to the British Museum and saw the Elgin Marbles. I have learned about these in a few classes so it was cool to see them. Lord Elgin purchased them from the Turks after the Parthenon was blown up. Seriously, they were probably some of my favorite things I've seen.
I am tired of pictures so I have a silly smile
And a weird smile, honestly I don't know that I got a normal picture here.
Wow, I really didn't have a normal face. But all of the statues were really cool.
Trafalgar Square. Fun Fact: I am writing a paper on Horatio Nelson and he is considered a British Naval hero. He beat the Spanish and French navies in the Battle of Trafalgar. Hence the name Trafalgar Square. And that is his statue.
Love the National Gallery!
I loved Trafalgar square as well. Some people think that it is because of Lord Nelson and Harrison's chronometer that the British dominated the seas. You can thank Lord Nelson and Harrison for speaking English. You would probably be speaking French or Spanish if it were not for then.
