England, here I come! I was just recently accepted into the study abroad program in London, England at my school. I have always wanted to go to England; it has been my number one destination if I ever left the United States of America. As a person majoring in English, I have put together five places that I want to visit in the United Kingdom due to what I have read in my English courses. So here are the five places I want to visit when I go to England:
1. Tintern Abbey in Wales
I know what you may be thinking: "She wants to visit a monastery that is in ruins?" Yes, yes I do because I read William Wordsworth's poem "Tintern Abbey" in my sophomore seminar class, and now I really want to plan a trip to Wales so I can see the ruins of Tintern Abbey.
2. Jane Austen's House Museum in Chawton, Hampshire, England
I have read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice novel and now I want to visit her house when I arrive in England.
3. Charles Dickens Museum in London, England
I read Dickens' Our Mutual Friend in my Victorian Literature class. I have always loved Charles Dickens so I feel like I have to make an effort to go to this museum.
4. The Globe Theatre In London, England
I am now finally understanding what Shakespeare is talking about in his plays. Now that I understand his plays, I need to go see one of his plays at the Globe Theatre when I am in London.
5. Stratford-upon-Avon, England
I mean if I am going to see one of Shakespeare's plays at the Globe Theatre, shouldn't I visit his birthplace while I'm in England too? So, this is another place I want to visit in England.
As you can tell these are a few places I want to visit while I am England and I hope I am able to see these five places.
