Few Pics

Well gang I figured I should share some more pictures, enjoy!

For those of you who live under a rock and/or don't get out much, this is Buckingham Palace. Apparently the Queen doesn't much like it here and would rather live in Windsor. Honestly I can't blame her, we all know how much work those old houses can be!

Next we have some pictures from the London Eye. I just wanted to get a better view of my kingdom, after all, everything the light touches is mine.




One of the coolest parts of the city that I have seen is Trafalgar Square. I will be going there several times for my art class because situated behind me in the second photo is the national gallery.


This is one of my favorite places to run. Its only a couple blocks behind my dorm and there are never crowds of people.

These next two pictures are from Regent's Park which belongs to her majesty but she so graciously lets us use it.



I also walked through one of the gardens in the park but as you can probably imagine there isn't much to see in a garden in the middle of January.


We took a trip to Windsor Castle and the weather decided to be quite British. I learned not to trust the weather forecast because I didn't have an umbrella and cold rain is not fun.




My roommate and I took a trip down to the Tower of London and then walked along the river to Big Ben. It was a long walk (we didn't exactly take the most direct route) but we got to see lots of really cool things. It was a spontaneous journey at 9:00 at night but well worth it.





This my friends is a bar on a ship. Just let the coolness of that sink in.

    1. Surprisingly it actually wasn't that bad, and the pods are big so no claustrophobia
