Today the only thing I did was walk. We walked around the Tate Britain. We walked around a brewery. We walked around the neighborhood. It was rough, and now I'm tired.
I really enjoyed the Tate Britain. They had such a huge range of works, and a "massive" Turner collection that I really liked. It's great that most of the museums are free, because I plan to go back to the Tate since we really didn't spend much time there. It's a great collection.
Immediately after we finished at the Tate we went to Fuller's brewery for a tour. That was really interesting – it's a local beer so they took us completely through the factory and showed us all the stages of beer-making. I got to taste the beer before they had added any yeast, which was just grains and water. It was weird. And warm. After the tour they let us sample all the Fuller's varieties, so we ended up getting about a pint and a half for free, sort of... we had to pay for the tour since Ball State wouldn't endorse anything that had to do with drinking. I really don't like beer very much, but I liked seeing how it was made and how different kinds of grain made the beer taste and look different.
Tomorrow I'm going with a couple people (Amanda, Kyle and a guy named Nathan) to Oxford, England, to see the college and stuff. It's just a day trip, since I think we're still kind of recovering from the shock of how expensive spring break was. I think it will be fun - a lot of people have already been and have said it's a good place to visit.
