Sorry for the delay between posts, I have limited internet access and not a whole lot of time yet to sit down and write.Anyways....On Saturday we decided to do all the central touristy stuff. We hopped on the tube, which is so warm and muggy that it is uncomfortable! Way faster than walking though. We hopped off right by the London Eye, which is this huge observation ferris wheel. We didn't go on it, but we walked over the bridge and took some pictures.
It looks all cloudy out, but it really was a nice warm day. We walked through St. James Park and there were all these people lounging on the grass and trying to feed the pelicans that lived in the pond. The geese looked just like the geese at home. So i wasn't too excited. But I took a picture anyways.
At the end of the park was Buckingham Palace. It was crowded and tons of tourists of every nationality.
The guards with the funny hats were marching around, although I'm not totally sure why. I should probably google it. Everyone just runs up to the gate to take pictures and stare at them. It seems like the weirdest job.
Then we stopped by Westminster Abbey, so intricate and HUGE. We wandered around that for awhile walking over all the people that were buried inside. They had their name, occupation, and how they died which was really interesting to see. Many of them did not live past 50!
After that we were all really tired, so we went back to the house to rest up. Then all of the interns went to this fun bar not too far away to hang out, dance, and bond. Ok that's all for now. I'll update on my internship and studies soon

It sounds like you are doing great. MorMor and I just finished reading all of your postings. She loved hearing what you are doing! We can compare picures from London when you get back. Say, they have "Changing of the Guards" at Buckingham Palace most days at 11am...fun to see. Have you seen the Horse Guards yet? They change too, and that's fun to see. Have you fed the pidgons at Trafalgar Square? So much to do!!! MorMor and I will keep reading your posts. Love you! Have fun! XO Aunt Sue and MorMor
