Walking the walls of York<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What stood out to me the most about this trip was the surreal feeling that I got when looking at things from the past. When I am learning about history if find that sometimes it can be very easy to forget that I am learning about actually happened. I often don’t think about the fact that parts of the past are still part of every day life. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Something that I really enjoyed was seeing the reconstruction of the globe theater. While it wasn’t the globe theater that existed during Shakespeare’s lifetime, it was still really neat. I still had that sense of looking at something from long ago. I was in awe thinking about all the plays that had been preformed there and all the plays that had taken place in the original Globe Theater. I have studied Shakespeare in-depth and it was fascinating to get a glimpse into that period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Rosetta Stone<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Seeing the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum was something that had a major impact on me. The Rosetta Stone is something that I have heard mentioned many times. I never would have imagined that I would be standing just a few inches away from something that has had such a massive impact on understanding languages and the past. While it is quite large, I was surprised to find that it was smaller that what I had imagined it to be. I always assumed something that contained so much writing would have to be massive. It was also interesting to see just how small some of the writing on the stone is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Diagon Alley at The Harry Potter Studio Tour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Another surreal experience that I had while on this trip was when I visited the Harry Potter Studios. I have read most of the books (eventually I will read the last one) and have seen the movies. While I am not a massive Harry Potter fan I am a huge fan of movies and find the process of making them very interesting. (Having a degree in theater is probably part of the reason for this.) Seeing things I had seen on screen in person was a cool experience. When watching films I sometimes wonder about what went on behind the scenes and what happens to the props, sets, etc. afterwards. It was fun to get some of my questions answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My time in England was a wonderful experience and something that I will never forget. While I am glad to be back home I miss England and hope to get a chance to return someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
