"I see in movie, you eat ants with chocolate, and hate black people in Texas" -French dude.

Today we traveled to the London Dungeons. It was about an hour in line and another hour or so once inside. I thought it was a very random thing. They talked about Jack the Ripper, Sweeny Todd, The Plague, a little about torture while we walked through dimly lit tunnels and people tried to scare us. I was hoping they would talk more about torture techniques and some more history stuff. But, it was good even if not what I expected.

When we woke up we had to check out to move rooms and then check back in, in the afternoon. We were very nervous about the mixed room situation, and at first glanced it seemed we were rooming with four boys. The first person we met in our room was one of the said old people in the previous post. Man, does this guy breathe loud. He’s very very overweight and apparently didn’t realize we were female at first? But the other three boys are French boys, not the same ones we met last night. New ones. I sure have found them to be funny and friendly despite their reputation throughout the states. They’re excited to practice their English, and that Andrea knows some French.
