Dear family and friends,

London and Paris were both fantastic! Indeed, I feel like I am settling into such a nice routine, balancing leisure with schoolwork with friends and family. I am sorry it has taken me so long, but here are some pictures from London along with some miscellaneous pictures I have not posted before. Paris is forthcoming!

London Eye
The view from the London Eye of Big Ben, Parliament, and the towers of Westminster Abbey

London scene
A typical London scene (as Laura would say, is that lady in all typical London scenes or just this one?)

In the British museum
The Rosetta Stone up-close

Underground
A sign for the Underground. I also found out that in British English, a "subway" means an underground walkway.

The 39 Steps
The London marquee.

Another living statue
With no head!

Musicals
A pretty picture looking down an avenue with a lot of the musicals playing on it

Types of columns!
Laura, this made me think of when you learned about the types of columns--ionic, doric, and corinthian!

In the Museum of Natural History
Hedwig!

Baby Beluga
The sea creatures room at the Museum of Natural History

Prettiness
The lovely gemstone room at the Museum

the Korean House
In the Korea room at the British Museum, there was an almost-life-size model of a traditional Korean house. I thought of Kiwoong from the Bizarre Bunch! :)

Pretty building
I think this is the outside of the Museum of Natural History

Outside of Hemley's
Hemley's is a large wonderful toy store and here is me with a character outside of it.

Movie premiere
When Astrid and I were walking around Leicester Square, we noticed that the Quantum of Solace movie premiere was getting set up! We didn't see the premiere itself but I saw Lizo from the kids' BBC show CBBC Newsround...I wasn't fast enough to get a picture of him though.

Famous people?
Saw these two guys in tuxes before the premiere with people taking pictures of them--in my ignorance I don't know if they are famous or well-known or what. Perhaps one of my readers recognizes them?

Meryl Streep's handprints
Yeah, the image title kinda says it all.
