The second day...

Hey everyone!
Today has been exhausting but fantastic!
We woke up and had breakfast in our student lounge which is decked out in London and Underground decorations. We then went on upstairs into our large classroom to have two orientation meetings where we met a lady from the embassy, our IT guy, and received more rules and procedures for travel, house life, and more. We then had pizza from Dominos in our student lounge. Next came the most amazing part....a tour around London!
We saw almost everything from Harrods to Buckingham Palace to London Bridge to St. Pauls to etc etc etc. Pictures should be uploaded at the bottom to give you an idea.
Next we came back to the house where we had a Student Workers meeting. I'm going to help watch after and clean the house on weekends I don't travel, and I'm going to be given the wonderful oppurtunity to tutor a boy in math if it can be arranged.
Next we went around town for a bit getting Tube passes, cell phones (if wanted, I for now have chose not to get one), and seeing local coffee shops and stores. The main street we were on was the one Harrod's lies on. It is the world famous, huge department store who's motto is "Everything for Everyone" or something along those lines.
Next we ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant called "My Old Dutch." It was good! It reminded me of Freebirds or any type of build your own sandwich or burrito shop. Mainly you could get all different types of "pancakes" which appear to me like a tortilla, but someone else used the term crepe.
We then walked around for a bit and eventually ended up at the house where we had our Community Living meeting with the RA. Again, a bunch of rules. But no worries.
So that was the day! As I promised the pictures are below (I am forever grateful to my good friend Sarah for taking all the shots you see below). I love you all and hope to talk with you soon! ♥♥♥

A regular street in London, complete with cars zooming by:

Yes, the red busses are everywhere!

The signature 4 lions:



House of Parliament:

Westminster Abbey:

The skyline of London is never without a crane because of all of the construction. This is also the River Thames that runs through London:

The House of Parliament (Big Ben sits on the far right of this beautiful one):
And here he is. However if you ever asked if you can see Big Ben say "No" because Big Ben is actually the name of the bell inside this tower, so you can only hear Big Ben:
Another skyline shot. The Far right building has a funny name I can't remember but you can always recognize it because it is in the shape of a "pickle":

The Tower of London:
The Tower of London again:

I believe this is the Tower Bridge:
and again at a different angle:

St. Paul's. I love this building. It can be seen from anywhere in London so the story goes.

St. Paul's
St. Paul's:
This is where Daniel Radcliffe (aka Harry Potter) attended school. Both my roommates were sure to get a photo, they love love love Harry:


This is a beautiful museum, not sure of it's name:

Here is Queen Elizabeth the 1st (I think, I'm probably wrong). But it is the oldest statue in the outdoors today:

Yes! They do have red telephone booths everywhere!

This is a beautiful Concert Hall across the street from Hyde Park (which turns into Kensington Gardens):
This is a beautiful statue in Kensington Gardens:



And yes, I am here! This is your wonderful photographer and me. Thanks Sarah!
