It was a rainy day as we trekked out to a small suburban neighborhood to see Abbey Road. Once we actually turned the corner onto Abbey Road, we were shocked. Not in amazing awe, but more confusingly stunned. Abbey Road couldn't have housed all four Beatles on
this small of a walkway!
Despite the small size of Abbey Road, being there still made us feel like a part of history. Located conveniently down the street, is John Lennon's house. For a place all boarded up, the public have sure done a good job decorating. All over are Beatles song lines scribbles alongside doodles of Lennon and Yoko Ono. It was a beautiful side to behold, really. After my friend and I headed to the Beatles Merchandise Store, which can only be described as the holy mecca of Beatles paraphernalia.
For our second class excursion, the school took us to the small mecca of art history known as Prague. While the Czech Republic isn't known for food or fashion, it's chalkful of preserved buildings and statues. Besides the monstrous hill with the famous church perched atop it, Prague is a relatively flat place. And extremely small, at that. We conquered the city-wide tour within two hours which featured a gander at the famous Square containing the clocktower, a French church, and the bridge.
