Alright, there's no excuse for how long it's been since I last blogged. Way too much has happened for me to cover it all in one blog post so I'm going to break it up like I did for Paris. The good news is that I now have my iPhoto fixed! So let's go back in time. Allow me to transport you back to July 9th, 2009...

It started off as a fairly dreary, chilly day in London town. Claire and I headed back into work with the knowledge that we would be working on the Insider again for the large part of the morning. After calling salons and spas for an hour or so, Jenni had us add more salons and spas to the excel spreadsheet for the Insider. Luckily, the girl who is normally in charge of the Insider came in just before lunch and took over. After lunch we were sent out to Regent's Park to do more vox pops, which are still one of the worst assignments out there. But we did get to go home a bit early because by the time we finished we wouldn't have made it back to the office before our editor went home for the day, so that's always a plus.

Friday after class Claire C., Linden and I headed down to the southbank to take a flight on the London Eye. The London Eye basically looks like a huge Ferris wheel with observation pods that moves very slowly and gives you a great view of the city. So we waited in a huge line and got on. It was actually pretty cool, you could see a lot of the city and we got some good pictures, the only negative thing were the loud tourists in the pod with us. It probably would have been a better event for the earlier days of our stay so that we weren't yet annoyed by tourists. Then we were starving so we stopped at the nearest place to eat, which happened to be an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Needless to say, it was not delicious but we were so hungry it hardly mattered.

Saturday we continued on with the touristy theme. We started off by going to a Marylin Monroe and Audrey Hepburn exhibit that we had heard about. It was pretty cool, they were all great photos and it was in a cute, small gallery where we were the only people there. Plus it was free! From there we stopped at Waterstones, their version of Barnes and Noble, and bought a few books each because a lot of reading gets done on all the tube and train rides we do here and our flat library has just about run out of new reads for us all. From there we crossed into Trafalgar Square and decided to go to the National Gallery which is just filled with a ton of art.

That night the three of us went out to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. After getting lost for about half an hour and waiting in line for about 2 hours, we finally got into the restaurant at about 10 or so. It was totally worth the wait, the food was amazing (and very American) and the decor of the restaurant was amazing. They had a ton more memorabilia than any Hard Rock I'd ever been to. It was also the first one opened.

Sunday Claire C., Linden and I tried once again to go to St. Pauls Cathedral for the guided tour, however we found that due to services they don't do them on Sundays. So we got back on the tube and headed back to the flat to pack a picnic and books to head out to Hyde park. We spent a few hours out there reading and snacking before the clouds started to roll in and made it home just in time for the rain to start. We then spent the rest of the evening working on homework.

Okay. I'm running out of steam!!! I'll continue as soon as I can, hopefully tomorrow but in the meantime...Here's some new photos!
