I did something last night that I have wanted to do for most of my childhood and into my adult life. Check this off of the ''Things to Do While Abroad'' list, because it has been completed! (drumroll please)

I ATE A CRUMPET! My friend Will, from London, had to go back to England for the day yesterday, and upon special request, he brought me some crumpets!!! I had heard about ''tea and crumpets'' for the longest time, but never really knew what a crumpet was. Well, it's nothing like I expected! A crumpet looks like a small, thick pancake. It's about the same size as a flat baseball. You put them in the oven, they get crispy, and then you enjoy! Will said that he'd never seen somebody get so excited over a little ol' crumpet before, but it was marvelous!
