London!

I've been in London since Wednesday, but today was the first day I really had a chance to get out and see very much. I really love being here -- there's so many amazing things that I see just walking down the street, it seems like every time I turn a corner or turn my head I see another intricately built building or a charming twisty alleyway paved with cobblestones.

Highlights of today's sightseeing extravaganza included:

  • A trip to the British Museum (Egyptian and Greek sculptures, plus a ton of other neat stuff)
  • Wandering around in Richmond (waiting for the boat, which was supposed to go at 4, but didn't go until 6)
  • Boat ride down the Thames, from Richmond to Westminster
  • Walking down the river after dinner, from Westminster to the Tower Bridge -- we passed by the Globe Theatre, the Clink, and a ton of other things, including the remains of a 12th century castle, the remains of a Roman wall, built in 200 AD, and the Tower of London

    Pictures from today are here. I took all of these with my cell phone. I think that tomorrow I'm taking my regular camera for better quality.
