just got home from England where I went on a 12-day tour. It was a great experience! I went with my instructor, seven of my team members, and my dad. We traveled from town to town visiting schools performing demonstrations. We also did many seminars at karate schools. The days were very long and tiring. We were up 20 hours a day. I did get two sight-seeing days - one in London and one in Doncaster.

While in London I went on "The Eye." It is a huge Ferris wheel. Usually, I am terrified of heights but this was not the same as riding the ones at the fair. The car was closed so I felt pretty safe.
We also visited Big Ben. We stood right beside it, and it was huge. At every hour it chimes which is so loud it can be heard all over town. We also went to the Buckingham Palace. We got to see the guards stand there and not move a muscle.
Can you believe that there are more than 600 rooms? WOW - what a place to play hide and seek. We also saw many cathedrals including St. Peter's Cathedral and St. Paul's Cathedral. The hardest part about this trip was missing school. Since I missed so many days I had a whole chapter of math and science to do. I have to teach myself everything and have everything done before I go back!
Overall, the trip was awesome but I'm glad to be home again sleeping in my own bed and eating American food! lol
