HIP Takes England


This past weekend,
HIP lugged our luggage to Gare Du Nord
and set off an underwater voyage through the English French Channel
 for a five day trip to England.

It was glorious.

We stayed in Central London
at the Janet Poole House on Gower Street.



We visited saw all the sites that make London one of the world's favorite cities:
 Shakespeare's Globe Theater,  St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square & The Borough Market.


We trekked north to Oxford to visit the famous academic hotspot
and had lunch in Tolkien & CS Lewis's favorite spot, The Eagle & Child.



Then we trekked a little west to Stratford-Upon-Avon
where we saw Shakespeare's birth place & his play, The Tempest.





And we ate a lot of REALLY good food.





Basically, we had an overall blast.

Have you been to London?
Were you a student like us?
 What are some of your favorite memories?

These pictures make my heart hurt! I've thought about London daily since my trip there a couple of years ago.
