Friday was our last day meeting with the London crew as a whole and we had an appointment to be given the grand tour of Parliament. We got to actually go in and see where the Lords and Commons met to make big decisions. We also got to tour around and see where the queen gets dressed before attending these important gatherings. It was really interesting to be at Parliament with all the political turmoil going on at the time and England having members of Parliament stepping down. Before coming to London I thought that people were not really interested in U.S politics let alone any countries politics but after being here its different to see everyone so interested in the way their own country is run. SO many people pay attention to what is going on in London; mostly through news papers. The tour was very cool because I never got a chance to tour the capital building in D.C so this was really my first time seeing where a government makes history changing decisions.
