Finishing in London

Me in a phonebooth...completely necessary. Various other pictures of what I did in London...
This is the architecture on St. Paul's Cathedral. Absolutely beautiful! I just learned that the entire city got 4 in. of snow yesterday and they haven't seen that in about 20 years. We had good timing!
Tower Bridge. We drove past it a bunch of times and then managed to actually walk out to the other side and get a better view. I believe this picture was actually taken from the Tower of London
Westminster Abbey. Not a bad picture considering it was taken from a bus
Guards! Closest picture I could get. I had some issues with the pictures and now that I have figured it out..I shall continue with London....
After the Tower of London it was going on 6 already so we tubed it back to our hotel. I met up with my roommate at the hotel and decided to go out pubbing that night. We actually took a tube with some of the girls into Richmond, which is about a 10 minute tube ride away in a different city. It's where the Richmond American International University is, which is one of the schools I applied to! One of the girls from our program knew someone studying at the university and so he showed us around Richmond. We met some of his French friends and chatted with them. It was quite fun. Everything closes rather early in London. People tend to go out early and come home early, which was nice, because most of us were jet lagged and we had to be up at 5am Saturday morning.
It was a good decision not to go to that school. It is rather small, but the location is fantastic. I dont think I could deal with 300 kids in an entire university!

That pretty much sums up my 3ish day adventure in London. Very short, but it was quite fun. I will have to post tomorrow about my first few days in Cannes because I do start classes tomorrow!
A demain
