Greenwich and Harrods!

Yesterday we took a ferry to Greenwich Village (below is a picture of some of us standing on the Prime Meridian!). There was a long line (or I guess I should say 'queue') of people waiting to take their picture on the line. But it was still a pretty cool experience. We spent the rest of the day walking around London, trying to orientate ourselves around the city a little better.
This morning we set off on a scavenger hunt around the city. However, we somehow ended up spending most of our time shopping and walking around Harrod's. It's so big! They have basically anything you could ever want in that store, including a pet shop! Their motto is something like "anything for anyone, anywhere". Afterwards we went searching for some school supplies, since classes start on Monday. By the time we arrived back at the house, we had been walking around the city for about 6 hours. After resting, we continued our exploration and found a cute place to eat called The Goat Tavern.
Tomorrow we are going to a Church of England called Holy Trinity. Supposedly they have a good college group there.
Well, it's currently 2 AM (I guess I still haven't adjusted to the time change) so I should probably try and get some sleep!
