Holy crap a lot has been done already today. Woke up, showered, went down to breakfast, walked forty minutes to orientation, spent an hour at orientation, then 4 hours worth of class, went to the subway, took it back near our dorms, ate a sandwich, and now talking to you fine folks. London is so incredibly congested. So many cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, bicycles, and people are moving together in what to me appears to be a perfectly coordinated dance. Everytime I cross a street, I never know what way to look first. Fortunately some of the crosswalks have it painted on the ground, "Look Right." Thanks for that. I took some pictures today of buildings. Also, I have posted the final pictures of Toronto as well. It is extremely hot here. As you can tell, I added a weather gadget. At the time I added it, it was 86 degrees here at 5pm and the sun was behind the clouds. Needless to say I have been sweating all day. During our long walk to class we went by the theater district and I can't help but say there are a ton of shows I want to see. Wicked and The Mousetrap are at the top of the list with We Will Rock You (a show about Queen the rock band) a close third. Another interesting tidbit is that the Notre Dame Law Center is in Westminster, which means, we are really close to Westminster Abbey. Awesome!! And the school has organized a day trip for us this Saturday to go to Bath and Stonehenge for the low-low price of 20 pounds. Nice. So for now, enjoy the new pictures. Until next time...

Soooo glad you get nice warm sunny weather to keep your spirits up rather than in the gloomy gutter like Toronto:)
Forgot to tell you to check out Hyde Park - it's like the NY central park of London. It's where we saw Hank Azara (sp) and they are always filming movies around there. Great place to study and people watch.
Also Portobello Road has really cool antiques and reproductions for such great deals. http://www.portobelloroad.co.uk/
The market is awesome on Saturday mornings. You might even be able to get cool old records there. It's where I got bec's scarf and your mom the tea cups.
Hank Azaria I think is his name. I will definitely add it to the list. There is so much stuff going on here I don't think six weeks will be enough time to get it in. Hope all is well back home. What size is Liver-Bug?
Liv is a 24 month or 2T. Not sure how sizes run there, have fun!

This is the tour and and I took while we were there. It was so fun and they take you by the REAL British MI-6 where they filmed James Bond! It's pretty cool. It's on the side of the river with the London Eye.
I saw a duck tour boat/bus and thought it looked cool. Interesting... BTW I didn't go to Hyde park but the other day were walking through some other park, because there is Hyde Park, Green Park and some other park right next to eachother, but we were stopped for a filming. It must have been some Chinese movie because the actors looked Chinese and I didn't recognize anyone. It really was quite a pain.
