So many things have happened, I don't know where to begin. My first few weeks here have been packed. Today we went to Portsmouth to visit Lord Nelson's flag ship, the H.M.S. Victory. He had a pretty nice set up in his cabin, but it was crazy to think how many men lived in the rest of the ship, with its cramped spaces and low ceilings. We were not able to take pictures. We also saw Porchester Castle, which was enclosed with Roman walls making it exceptionally old. And we toured the Mary Rose museum--the Mary Rose being one of Henry VIII's ships that sank. It turned too hard and fell over, so a rather silly ending for a warship. They pulled it up and found fantastic Tudor artifacts, like toothpicks and coins and cannons.
Tomorrow I'll be studying all day.
