Greetings From London!

[Ryan]

Just wanted to show a few pictures from my first 2 weeks studying abroad in the U.K.! For those of you who know the area, I'm staying in Kensington....yeah, it'm having the greatest time of my life.

Yes, we all know what this is.

Friends seeing a play at the Regents Park outdoor theater. It was amazing! It's olny rained one day since I've been here.

Night life.

Note to Furgi: This is TOWER BRIDGE, not to be confused with the song "London Bridges Falling Down". That bridge is the one before Tower.

Brighton. Good place to have fish and chips.

haha, i felt bad for this guy because there was a mass crowd taking pictures with him. Oh well, I needed a facebook picture...

“Little Venice” This was originally built for commercial traffic. Now it’s a tourist site, although it seems like not many people know about it.

Anniversary of Princess Diana’s death. About a ten minute walk from where I’m staying.

Isn't England awesome? Congrats, and enjoy your time there...it's a great country. Try to get up north sometime...places like Norwich, York, Lincoln, the Lake District...really cool. Get to Scotland, too.

Jealous!

Great pics! I have a friend in England, also. I hope to visit Scotland in the near future (MacIntosh clan).

As to the rain...its not winter yet. And days are very, very short there in mid-winter. My brother got to spend November and the first half of December there a few years ago. Working with his counterparts on top secret stuff.

Nice pics Ryan.

My office is on the far left of your Tower Bridge pic (just on the north side of the river and just out of view)...I walk over Tower Bridge every day.

Im glad you are enjoying your stay

Hey, I have a friend in London....well, just outside of London. And, when I eventually get to meet Londonking and his family, I will be able to say..."I have good friends in London" too.

ETA: never mind, i thought it was a fish & chip type of thing, but it's really a scotland type of thing...

No, you're right. We do have mars bars and I love them.
