More from London!

these are just some pictures of the pathway from Buckingham Palace to Hyde Park. Hyde park is AMAZING! I loved it SO much. It was fun that so many people spend time in parks, with their dogs and their families. Hyde park is where many memorials to Diana are built. It is also, basicly, the backyard to Kennsington Palace, which was Diana's Palace. It was my favorite Palace that we saw, because it just looked so real, not over done, but I guess Palaces are supposed to be that way. Haha. Anyway, enjoy the few pictures I have on this one.

London again...

here are some pics from the Changing of the Gaurd. It was pretty cool... interesting to see something so historical. I just wish it wouldn't have been as crowded!

Okay, Procrastination got the best of me... London, again!

BUCKINGHAM PALACE!!!! It was Beautiful. Everything I expected and more. This day was such a BEAUTIFUL DAY! I enjoyed every second of it. We went to see the changing of the gaurd, which was a cool experience, but it was SO crowded and hard to see.. not to mention HOT! that it wasn't that fun. But I am glad I went. I have a few pictures of that too... they will show up in another post. :)

This last picture is a picture of how busy and crowded it got. There is a pic of this same statue toward the top of the post... look how empty it was. It got SUPER busy WAY too fast.

Here is my London post for the day. Most of these are at the Tower of London. The Tower is where many of the Kings of England lived, including Henry VIII. The Tower is also where Ann Bolyn was killed and a couple of his other wives too. Before and a little after Henry VIII was King, the Tower was used as a prison. I have more pictures from the Tower, but it was a different day, so will be included in a different post. We got to the Tower this day just after it closed. It sucked, but it was such a beautiful sight, that it made it worth it. We walked out of the Tower tube station (the tube is their underground transportation system... it is AMAZING!) and there is the AMAZING view of the tower (it is the first picture in the post). And there is also this sun dial that has different parts of England's history at each number around the dial. It was pretty cool too. Enjoy!

The second picture is London Bridge... I have better pictures of it. They will be in a later post also. :)

This is just a cool monument that was across the street from the Tower. I thought it looked pretty fancy. :)

London...

The top two are pictures of my friend Natalie and the little pub we went to the first night. Most of the pubs there are restaurants too. We ate dinner here, some of the BEST Nachos I have EVER had. It was fun and I LOVED the name of the Pub, "Little Jack Horner sat in the corner..." haha.

The rest of the pictures are of our journey around the part of London that Tate Modern and the Globe theater are at. I would have liked to see a play at Globe theater, they were playing Romeo and Juliet, but none of the times matched up to when we could go. I didn't get any pictures of the Tate Modern, it is a museum and you usually can't take pictures of it, it was REALLY cool. Our favorite exhibit was the Surrealism one, Picasso and other artists that changed the face of art. We also saw the British Museum, I think it was my favorite, there is a lot of symbolism in the British Museum from the places that the Empire conquered, Asia, Africa, South America and even some from places that I am learning about in school right now, which makes it even more interesting to me. There is also a picture of the Millennium bridge. It is right across from St. Paul's Cathedral. It was SO much fun and I have lots more pictures to post, but alas I must get some homework done tonight. I will post more later (probably tomorrow night).

London...

Ok Ok, I know it took me FOREVER to get more pictures of London up, but I was having computer difficulties. Here are some pictures of the city around St. Paul's Cathedral. it was BEAUTIFUL! The ones that are at the top are from Old Bailey, which is the courthouse.

This is where the pictures of St. Paul's start. It was truly beautiful. We went on Sunday and they were having a service, but it was fun to see the inside. It is just amazing how beautiful all the cathedrals are that I have been in... and this one is NO exception!
