Okay, I'm too unmotivated to actually document my trip to London but I thought I would share a few more pictures/attempts at being funny in the captions. Overall London was awesome. I think Barcelona is my favorite city so far, but London is a very close second or even number 1b. I spent a lot of the weekend walking around and exploring by myself so I don't really have too many good mug shots, but my Myspace pic taking skills certainly improved throughout the ordeal. I hope that these aren't as boring as they are seeming to be to me right now. See ya'll in two weeks from the day.

My friend Kelsey. Barcelona's McDonald's couches were definitely nicer. |

These direction arrows aren't very helpful. I zig-zagged my way across Hyde Park in my attempts to follow them. |
|
I knew that when I deleted the picture of the sign that said what this monument is called that I would forget what this monument is called. I want to say Albert Monument, sounds right to me. Right across the street (behind the photographer), there is Albert Hall. I didn't get to go inside but it looked pretty sweet. I guess this is where I upload a picture of it. |

Albert Hall |
|
Changing of the Horse Guard. |
|
Mind the gap. Mind the doors. Please. |
|
Westminster Abbey. If you're buried here you were a ridiculously powerful/famous/historic individual. Just about all the kings and queens, Chaucer, Darwin, Isaac Newton, Tennyson and tons and tons of others. |
|
Large Ben |
|
Parliament building. |
|
St. Paul's Cathedral. Top ten largest cathedral in the world according to wikipedia. |
|
View from atop St. Paul's. |
|
Tower of London. Wishing it were a trebuchet... |
|
Tallest suit of armour known. Made for a 6' 8" man. Oh ya, and one of the smallest suits. |
|
Tower Bridge. Way cooler than the puny London Bridge. Maybe my favorite place in London. |
|
View from atop the Tower Bridge. Yes, those are fireworks. Great time to take a tour. |
|
New Wembley Stadium. Possibly the nicest stadium in the world. Amazing. |
|
92,832 strong |
|
Wembley Press table. Not a friendly place to be sitting. |
|
Buckingham Palace. Not as cool as expected. Although I did watch the changing of the guard. |
|
Churchill War Rooms |
|
I LOVE HYDE PARK |
|
Quack |
|
"What are we going to do today...pose for pictures with tourists or fight crime?" |
|
Trafalgar Square. Roar. |
|
Whatever. |
I hope everyone is having a great Sinterklaas day. And a great Trent's birthday too of course.
ello!
