A Lovely Day....and photos photos photos!

Sorry if I seemed so brief in yesterday's entry, but I felt rushed since I didn't know when the wireless would stop working!

Anyway, today we took a rather fun bus tour of London, seeing places such as Oxford St, Picadelly (sp?) Circus, Big Ben,St Paul's Cathedral ("feed the birds") and other lovely landmarks. Like I said before, nothing much seems to have changed in the way London is functioning, other than all the policemen around! I reallllly want to go to see Phantom or Mary Poppins, soI might check into half price tickets.

I took millions of photos from today's tour, but as those deserve an entry for themselves (probably tomorrow), here aresome photos from yesterday and the day before.




Cool fountain in Detroit airport.


The Dallas Crew! Elizabeth, Brittany, ummm I forgot her name, and Paul.



English village we passed through.



This one is for Katrina....



Thames.



Victoria Underground STation






My humble abode.



The park bench I'm sitting on!



Hampstead.


Elizabeth with the wine she got with the hummas. It was red Australian or something. She liked hers alot, but I probably couldn't even stomach half a glass.



A Yorkie Bar. When I bit into it, it huuuuurt like a "mofo". Geez.



Also, calling home has been way too difficult. I think I got the wrong kind of calling cards, and Cingular hasn't activatedmy international calling yet. Grrr. Thankfully Elizabeth has let me use her cell phone (it gets calls for free), to finallycall home today. If all else fails, I might rent a cell phone....

In other news, the school's breakfast is excellant! I had a croissant with tons of fruit (including clementines!) and it filled meup! Then we had an orientation about the college, etc, (we got our tube passes, finally!), then went on the tour. Liz and Isplit a Kit-Kat bar, and Eileen was right, they're so much better here.

I'll try and get on tomorrow to post those photos. If not, classes start Monday, so perhaps that night I can do a better, moreconcise and cohesive update. If I haven't gone "bonkers" (as our tour guide kept saying) from the strange traffic habits of Londondrivers.
