Before I begin, here is a link to a post I wrote for IU about the class trips to Stratford-Upon-Avon and Bath.
My final week in London was fairly different than that of my peers because
Ben came out to visit and not only did I get to play tour guide,
helping to plan how to make the most of his four days - two of which would
be almost completely on his own - but I also got to stay an extra two
days longer than most people in the group.

You know you're a costume geek when...
My sister-in-law, Hillary, asked a very valid question: why am I in London to begin with? Which made me realize how sad it is that in two weeks of blogging not only have I covered only four days of my trip, but I also haven't even mentioned my purpose in coming to the UK at all. And now we're home and we need to get this trip written up!
That being said, I spent three weeks in London for a class called "Costume and Character: 18th and 19th Century English Costume and Society" led by my costume design professor at IU. We lived in Nido Spitalfields, the tallest student housing building in the world. It's a horribly modern building that, strangely enough, I didn't take any pictures of.
