England: Where’s Big Ben?

Submitted by Nicole Anacay on the 2018 spring semester program in Athens, Greece sponsored by the College of Education & Human Development…

The three of us took a little trip to London over the weekend. We managed to see every site on our list in a single day. We saw the London Bridge, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and more. Of course the one weekend we go to London, Big Ben was under construction with scaffolding surrounding it! We walked past, looking for it and missed it a few times because it was so covered. My clinical educator at school studied in London for her Masters and she told me about it beforehand. Walking around the streets, I noticed that everyone was so nicely dressed; nice shoes, a lot of jewelry, and professional looking. It did rain the most of our time there, but it can’t be London if it’s not rainy, right? I still wouldn’t mind visiting again!
