Greenwich

Watching the sun set at Hyde Park

Things are finally slowing down a little bit since most classes have now begun. My class at LMU (London Metropolitan University) hasn't started yet, so I had nothing to do last Thursday. Most people have their internships on Thursdays, meaning there isn't much to do around Vandon, so I decided that I was going to go to the Tower of London by myself. On my way out, I discovered that two of the guys here had made plans for the Tower as well. The three of us joined up and headed out. We had a fun time, I got to make new friends and I got to see a castle. :)

I don't think I would have survived living in those days!

On Friday we had a day trip scheduled to see Greenwich, a smaller town in London. Central paid for all of us to ride a river boat down the Thames river on our way to Greenwich. It was cold and windy but well worth sticking it out for all of the beautiful views.

The Prime Meridian is located in Greenwich so we all had to climb our way up to the top of this huge hill to get the the observatory. We took our pictures and then headed back to town to check out the market.

While walking around I discovered a Tex-Mex restaurant! Needless to say, we ate there for lunch. The food was amazing, almost like being at home! I did however catch a few laughs for being so excited about the place.... I even took a picture!

Today I had my Art in London Class, we went to the British Museum. It was kind of like having my own tour guide at the museum. We got to see parts of the Rosetta Stone and remains of the Parthenon in Athens.
