Today we spent the morning presenting all of the hard work that we did the night before. We set up computers to show the best of everyone’s top ten. Then we had to vote on the three that we liked most […]

Today was a day of work for all of us. All of our assignments just piled up on us all. We were stuck in the hotel all day long and I didn’t go to bed until 3am with some of my work still unfinished. The only time I […]

Throughout the time here in London, I have made numerous trips to the 24-hour market down the street. It’s not that big, but it does have the basics of a larger grocery store that you would see back home. There definitely isn’t that much of a variety of certain types of food. […]

It is a rainy and muggy and just a ugly day, but we ended up going to Notting Hill Market early in the morning. As soon as we got there the first thing that I noticed was the houses, all painted different colors. Not one house was the same color […]

We asked someone working at the church if services were still held and we were told that twenty-eight a week […]

Today we woke up and was getting ready to go to Westminster Abbey. We took the tube there like everywhere else we go. The one thing that I noticed about the subway here compared to France was that it is a lot easier to use. In Paris it was […]

Today, Alexis and I decided to do some shopping. Since our subway passes had expired, we were forced to buy our own. I was really surprised to find that the metro passes cost 2 pounds each way. I feel that two pounds is too expensive for a subway that is dirty and overcrowded.

Leaving at […]

Today Courtney and I headed over the Millennium Bridge to visit the Tate Museum. I enjoyed walking through the different levels because I have always found it interesting how people express themselves. Sometimes you would never think a piece of architecture or a model of a car would be art. We walked […]
