Day 25 - London, where they call it London

We left quite early this morning for the Vienna Airport. After a short wait, we got on the plane to London. We were able to stretch out a bit on the plane because there were a few extra seats in the back of the plane. It was a little bit bumpy but not bad. I find that I like turbulence. Then we headed to the hotel. There are six people in our room, four on the ground floor, then two in a very small and short loft-like area. It also has a kitchen and a good sized bathroom. Not too shabby. After a few minutes of rest, we all went back into the city to tour it. We saw a lot of things and I took many pictures.










After our little class, some of us headed to see the Tower of London, just the outside.
Part of the Wall.


Then Tabitha, Claire and I just wandered around the wonderful city of London.











Then off to Platform 9 3/4. We had some trouble finding it because it is not between platforms 9 and 10. So Tabitha went and asked someone. Turns out, it is between platforms 8 and 9.

Where it should be.

When we got back, we got some food from the local grocer which was open because British don't have the European mentality of closing at 6 pm. And that was about all for today!

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t...
