I only have 3 weekends left in London (4 weeks of my program, but I am going away for one of the weekends to Paris), so I am starting to try to spend a lot of time trying things I haven't done yet and spending as little time in my room as possible, especially because it is so hard to do so during the week after I get home from work. So yesterday, Kat and I wanted to do something touristy, but were still relatively exhausted from our action packed Saturday, so we didn't want to do anything wild. We decided to go to the Natural History Museum because neither of us had been, it is on our street, and it is free (as are almost all museums/art galleries in London). It completely exceeded our non-existent expectations!! I loved it! And we only got to spend an hour there, so I definitely want to go back to check out the exhibits we skipped over.
The building is really beautiful:
And this is the inside:
There is an amaaaaAAaazing dinosaur exhibit! I didn't realize how into dinosaurs I am until this trip.
I thought this was funny, look at those arms!! The bio on this dino said his arms were too short to reach his mouth :( how sad! And he only had two fingers! :(
Sidenote: A T-Rex is so heavy that if it were running and it fell over onto its side, it would die from its own body weight. #whydinosaursareextinct

There was an (almost) life size animated and surround sound T-Rex!
The other exhibit we went to was of mammals. The replicas were so realistic, I loved it.
