                                     London & the British Library

By: Sophie and Elanor

From Thursday, October 8 to Tuesday, October 13 we were in London. We had wanted to go to London for quite some while and now we finally got our chance. Before going to London we researched some of the places we were going to. While in London we stayed in a rented apartment. On Friday, our first whole day there, we went to the British Library. The British Library isn't a normal library where you check books out, it is a place with hundreds of old books that you can look at but not read. It was fascinating to see all of those old books, preserved for a long time. There was one room with lots of thousand+ year old books in it, including the Magna Charta. There was also a section with hundreds of stamps. Unfortunately we couldn't take very many pictures at the British Library.

                    Before going to our next adventure of the day we stopped at a little playground to play. It was for little kids but we still had fun.

Bike Riding

This is me riding a bike without training wheels. I rode the length of the bike path as if I had practiced for a long time, but I had only practiced for 3 days.
