St. Pauls Cathedral(we got a tour)

At Portobello Market  

So we basically did a lot this past week.  We went on a tour of St. Paul's Cathedral as a group.  It was fun and way cool to see.  On the second floor you can talk from one side of the room and hear it clearly from the other because it is completely round.  It was so cool.  Then we went to the very top balcony on the outside.  It was a lot of stairs to get to the top.  But not bad.  It was so cool to see London from up high.  We could see in all directions.  We went on a lot of walks around London(for one of our classes).  They were fun because we got to see a lot of London and we got to become familiar with a lot of places. We went down Regents Canal, to Regents Park, and so many places... It is so much fun being here.

We get great discounts on great seats at all of the plays we go to.  We saw the Lion King(May 4) and had the best seats.  We also went to the Royal Opera House(May 3) and Tara and I got around 100 pound seats for 15 pounds.  It was awesome.  We also happened to go to Keira Knightly's play on the last day(May 7).  It was called Children's Hour. It was good and had a crazy ending! I'm glad I got to see it before it ended.  We waited for her at the end and couldn't take pictures with her cause she was in a hurry.., but we got her autograph and talked to her.

assignment there.

Abbey Road!!! "The Beatles" (We tried to imitate their picture)

Tower of London

Regent's Park

We talked with Keira Knightly and got her
autograph after her final show of "Children's
Hour".  It was a good show! She was so nice
and way skinny.

We also went cruising the town a lot.  We ate at so many good places.  I had some good sandwiches, wraps and a way good salmon pasta.

We also went to Abbey Road one day and did a picture like the Beatles have.  It was fun even though everyone would stare at us as we would run in the road during big gaps between cars.  It was raining that day too.  It was the first time that it has rained since I have been here.  It is way windy compared to rainy here.  Hopefully that doesn't change.

There are Ferrari's, Lamborghini's,
Bentley's and all sorts of cool
cars everywhere here!

We have been to a few museums:

        Tate Modern

        Victoria and Albert Museum

        National Gallery Museum

        Maritime Museum

View from Greenwich

We also went to Greenwich.  That is where 0' Longitude point is.  So I was on the east and west side of it at the same time! We took a boat to get to this area.  We got to ride down Thames river.  It was so fun!  I am having so much fun and enjoying it all.  We do a lot of school work, yet have so much fun too! This is the best semester I have had in college so far!
