buildings
these are the buildings across from our dorms. Hey everyone! I decided to create a travel blog so that I can put pictures up about things I am doing while I'm in London for a few weeks. I just arrived in London 2 days ago and so far I am having a wonderful time. Despite what people might think, the sun does actually come out here. We have had the pleasure of seeing the sun 2 days in a row. It was raining the first day that we got here, but since then it has really brightened up. It starts up pretty sunny and then gets kinda cold later in the evening.
Yesterday, we went on an official bus tour of the city and were able to see some awesome things. London is a huge city and hard to take in all at once. Aimee and I plan on visiting the places that we saw later on in more detail. We saw the London eye (a huge ferris wheel that takes 30 min for one revolution), the Queens home, Big Ben, and some churches. We saw a lot of stuff but I cant really remember all of the stuff that we saw.
Since I have been here,
telephone booth
trying to be like super man in the booth. I have had the opportunity to go to some local pubs and hang out with some of the other students in the program. One thing that is different here than in the states is that the beer is a little bit stronger. haha. But thats not what I was going to say. Each beer has a different glass which I think is pretty neat. I am beginning to taste the difference in the beers. There is actually a beer here that tastes like apple cider. But anyway. I am really excited to watch a really important soccer match that is coming up in the pubs. It is Manchester United vs. Chelsea. Apparentely, no two English teams have made it to the finals. Im excited to be in a city that appreciates soccer as much as I do.
Well, thats all I really have for right now. I will keep you updated as the days go by! I hope all is well where you are!
