Dear Followers,

Welcome back, or in the case of my class, welcome! If you have come to this site by accident, then read on since I assure you it's better then the site you were trying to get to. For the next week or so I, Simon David Ace Grossman, will be blogging about the trip to London that  me and my mother are on. Please note that I am writing this on the 25th of March 2013 so if you are reading this in the year 500,000 AS(After Simon) trying to find out about my early life, I am NOT still on that trip. Below i am going to post some photos from our 1st and 2nd days.


In the food court at Logan, we noticed that up on the wall were these signs for many major cities. It'f funny to think that America is wider then the Atlantic ocean.






In the Victoria and Albert museum  there was a very cool screen that allowed the user to create their own coat of arms. if you are in my class, then ask Ms.Adams to show you the one I made for the class. The motto in Latin means "through effort to the stars" I have the same motto on my coat of arms which you will see below.
This is my coat of arms. I worked hard on it so enjoy(or else, DUN DUN DUN).











These are pictures of models of the Globe Theater. They are, hilariously, IN the Globe Theater. Humans (snort). The Globe Theater we were in was the 3rd globe. It was where many of Shakespeares plays were preformed.  It was originally built for Shakespeare in fact - the the late 1500's.

I shall now tell you the great Chronicles of the Globe.

The 1st Globe, burned down. they were in the middle of a show, and the King of England was part character in the show. A cannon was shot to salute the king, but the technical people must not of positioned  the cannon quite right, and boom bang whiz ( or woop zoop sloop) the cannon hit the roof and the roof was on fire. Since the roof was made of thatch the Globe burned down quickly - with over 2000 people in the audience. Nobody was hurt but one poor mans britches caught on fire - but dont worry, he had a bottle of beer handy and used it to put out the fire. He ruined his britches but he saved his life.

Today we are off to the Natural History museum.  Keep reading as i will post about it tomorrow.
