More Pics

As promised, here are more pictures for your enjoyment!

We took a boat tour on the river Thames from Tower Bridge to Greenwich last weekend. Though it was very cold we got to see some very cool views of the city. The first picture is the Tower of London which is very impressive from the river

And of course a neat picture of Tower Bridge

In Greenwich we trekked to the observatory where you can see the official marker for the prime meridian. however we didn't get to take touristy pictures with one foot in either side of the prime meridian because it costs money to actually get to the marker. Though technically we did cross it while walking around the grounds of the observatory, so that's fun.

One of my favorite things in London is the markets. All the food looks and smells amazing so if you aren't careful it would be very easy to spend all of your money! This statue is at the beginning of the Brick Lane Market and no one has been able to explain to me why, so until then I'm under the impression that its there because everyone loves goats.

I'm not sure what the name of this market is, all I know is the food is spectacular. Its a block away from where my classes are and its open every Thursday for lunch. Yes, I eat lunch here every Thursday!

This church is a few block from St. Paul's Cathedral, well whats left of it anyway. Most of it was destroyed during the World War II and rather than tear it down or rebuild it, the ruins have been turned into a garden. Pretty cool if you ask me.

To end of a fun note, here's a picture of me and a blue storm trooper! For the star wars nerds who are thinking "Isn't he a little short to be a storm trooper?" I think he's actually movie height.

Long Live the King
