One More Fun Day of Sightseeing!

So, Today was a fun filled day full of sight seeing. That's mostly what this first week has been. We've pretty much mastered the tube station, except the platforms which keep turning themselves into strange mazes. The British are good with signs and labeling tho. The only thing we haven't mastered is reading the signs. We tried to go see Westminster Abbey this morning, but it turned out the tube line that we wanted to take to get there was not operating at the stop we tried to transfer to it from. We didn't read the sign. So instead we got off and walked through Green Park near Buckingham Palace.

After that, I used a public toilet. It was eerie under ground and had pink toilet paper. Then we headed over to our school for a Coach tour of London. It lasted 3.5 hours and we saw lots of things. Mostly we just drove around the city and listened to a great, funny tour guide who knew everything. We occasionally got out to take pictures and I'll post some for you. The most interesting part was probably when we got to Trafalgar square, and there was a riot/protest for Palestine and our coach got caught in traffic. It was fun tho.

This is Harrod's. Its huge and sweet and super duper expensive. We are going to tour it tomorrow.
This is Westminster Abbey! We were going to tour it today, but didn't get to. I'll be excited to later though!
This is me in front of St. Paul's Cathedral. That is where Princess Diana married Prince Charles, and when you tour it you can go the whole way to the top of the dome to see the views!

This is a man on a motorcycle. You can see the board on the front of his motorcycle. That means that he is studying for an exam called "The Knowledge." When he completes it, he will be a licensed taxi driver and must know every hotel, restaurant, road, etc in London. It takes about 3 years to learn all the information.

This is me in front of Tower Bridge. We drove over it after this was taken.
This is a pretty bridge that you can't see much of because we were in a moving bus. You also can't see that it is pink. Its named for Prince Albert who married Queen Victoria.
