A Few First Pictures...

I haven't really taken very many yet, which is rather surprising for me. But maybe I'm just getting warmed up!

Anyway, these are pictures from yesterday's tours.

First, from the bus tour of the sites:



Our first stop was at the Millennium Bridge where we could see the Tate Modern (as viewed here) as well as the Globe Theater and Saint Paul's Cathedral.

Saint Paul's Cathedral

From the Bridge we could also see the Eye, just peeking through some of the city skyline.


Our second stop was near City Hall to see the Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf from a distance:

We also had a pretty decent view of the Gherkin from City Hall:



And of course, the Tower of London:



Later on the Walking Tour we explored Kensington and a bit of Hyde Park:


Kensington apartments


The Prince Albert Memorial

That's it for now!

Today I had my first class and some more orientation, and then went walking with my classmate, Hannah, along Kensington High Street. Tonight we are going to the West End to see "Blood Brothers" at the Phoenix Theater!

Gah! There's scaffolding on the Tower of London too! Looks like a beautiful day for touring.

Aw...I have a picture I took of The Eye up as my desktop.

Love that one of Tower Bridge.
