Some photos for you!

OK, so we'll start with the view from my dorm. Possibly the least exciting photo of the bunch, but let's get that one over with.



Below, you'll find some shops on my walk today. Beautiful, cheery colors on a very grey day.



This was something I passed early this morning. I loved the colors, and you can see it was snowing. Just something for the ladies.



Then, I headed for the Underground to go hit some touristy spots...



My first stop was the Westminster stop. I got out of the Tube, and this was right in front of me. I love the color of the sky in this shot. Not photoshopped at all! I promise!



About a block from Big Ben was Westminster Abby. They had stopped letting tourists in for the day, but it was also beautiful from the outside. I'll try to get back later this week to see the inside as well. Around the abbey they had statues of all these important brits (winston churchill etc.) and they had a statue of Abraham Lincoln. I thought it was great to see the U.S. represented. But I didn't get a photo. Sorry.



Around from the alley I could see the Eye. My friend Laurie had told me I had to check that out, so I headed over. It's essentially a ginormous carousel that moves very slowly and is extremely tall so you can see all of London. I thought I would be too afraid of heights to handle it, but it moved so slowly that I felt totally safe. The veiws were fantastic. I'm going to show some photos of the Eye for those who haven't seen it, and then photos from the eye. There's one in here where you can see both Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, so you'll get the layout a bit better.





Hmmm... blogspot isn't letting me post any more photos. I'm going to try more in a second post. Be patient....
