221b Baker Street.

This past Saturday, I got to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum which is located at the famous address where Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson lived. I mean, they didn't actually live there, but you know what I mean. It was a super duper cool museum, but it wasn't really that much of a museum. I forgot my stinkin' camera, but I went with my friend Colleen, whose pictures I stole from facebook. :)
It was a home decorated in the style of the 1890s-ish era that Holmes and Watson lived in. They had all sorts of neat little artifacts from the stories and it was easy to just pretend that they still lived there. On the upper floors, there were wax figures of characters and situations from some of the most famous Sherlock Holmes adventures. One of my favorite parts was being able to read real letters sent to 221b Baker Street that were addressed to Holmes, asking for his help on solving mysteries. People still send him letters to this day, and some of the best ones were displayed. The greatest ones were sent by kids. They were hilarious. This one was my favorite: 


I must admit, my favorite part of the experience was the Sherlock Holmes shop next door. It was FANTASTIC. I wanted to buy everything.

Here are the rest of Colleen's pictures.

I'm off to Switzerland tomorrow for a few days. Yay chocolate!!

Happy Thanksgiving!
