Jess and Jill's Sherlock Adventure! (Part 2)

So, last night I was having a ton of issues with the internet and in my frustration left out two of the best parts of the day. Here's a little bonus stuff that I thought you would all like to know. :)

1) In the Sherlock Holmes museum, there was a book of letters written to Sherlock after the Reichenbach Falls. I am not sure when they were sent but they seem very recent. This particular letter caught our eye. We read the first couple sentences and couldn't read on. It was so heartbreaking and the girl was so upset (and we were already an emotional wreck) that I had to walk away. Here is that letter.

2) Comedy here in England is different than back home. English humor (excuse me, humour) is much more dry and sarcastic. So, outright exclamations of excitement aren't common at all. That being said, the conductor of our train yesterday was the exception to the rule. We got on the train at Baker Street and he came on the loud speaker to tell us that the train wouldn't depart for 6 minutes and he was sorry for the inconvenience. He made this same announcement at the 3 and 1 minute marks. Just as we were about to depart, he came on the speaker again saying "Yaaaaaaaaaay! We're ready to depart now! Let's get going!!" This was then follower by a joke about him not rememebering to put the train in gear and that's why we were stuck. It was hilarious and Jill and I were shocked. The weirdest part of the whole experience was the reaction (or lack of) from everyone else on the train. No one even flinched. One of the women sitting across from us looked at Jill and I like we were crazy because we thought it was adorable! It was so bizarre and fantastic, I had to share it with you all. Well that's al for now, I'm headed to class!
