St. Paul's Cathedral...we went in it the next day


I've been out and about enjoying our weekend off. Today three of my friends and I woke up and headed out to Shepherd's Bush to see my friend Gabby play at a local music festival. It was a beautiful area with loads of stuff going on. I was so happy to see Gabby since its been about a year and a half since we last seen each other. We spent the day just riding around on the subway and getting off on random stops. Darrin has been pretty cool about us going out on our own which is nice. The food has been wonderful and it's fun seeing the differences in the culture here.

Friday June 8th, 2007

Well I wrote a post for Friday but it didn't seem to save! I've done so much since then so I'll try to recap..:) We woke up early and caught the train out to Hampton Court Palace which was about a half an hour ride. It was nice just relaxing, sketching and getting a glimpse of the countryside. Hampton was beautiful and the history is mind boggling! The tour guides were dressed in full grounds from the days when Henry VIII lived there and were very entertaining. I am hoping to make it back out there and take the full audio tour cause I loved it so much. We also went to The British Museum. The galleries were incredible. they had two floors of Egyptian artifacts and a gallery of Greek sculptures from the Parthenon,and The Rosetta Stone! I took loads of pictures so Ill let those do the talking. I can't believe everything I've done already and it's only been four days! "Life is Good"
