After a week of somewhat less-than-stimulating orientation sessions, the study abroad program treated us to a bus tour and boat cruise to get to see all the "must see's" of London. Sights for today included:
-Museum of London
-St. Paul's Cathedral
-Buckingham Palace
-Parliament
-Westminister Abbey
-Monument
-Big Ben
-Tower Bridge
-Tower of London
-Wren's Banqueting Hall
-Tate Modern
-tons of other beautifully ancient buildings in spectacular shape (they are always scrubbing the sidewalks and windows, so no wonder...)
Afterward, some friends and I (pictured above - my roommate, two friends from Norway, one from Japan, and one from Connecticut) got properly lost downtown trying to navigate the tube while finding food. We ended up at a hole in the wall diner enjoying relatively cheap food and good company.
Tomorrow's agenda: find out where our classes are, get a bathmat for our overflowing shower, and find the British equivalent to a Wal-Mart to find some clothes hangers.
