I purchased an unlimited tube pass today. Since then, I’ve traveled more than my feet can carry me. The tube is an interesting, but convenient mode of transportation. It’s odd, you can pop-up from underground in china-town or it could be in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral. You never know! London is great; I can see why many people live here. Yes it is bad weather, but it makes up for it in life. In Hyde Park where I live, the population is extremely diverse. In fact, the hostel is run by Australian people. They’ve been very good to us and have provided us a class room to study in.

I’m getting comfortable walking around in London and am finding it’s not as bad as everyone said. The best part has been Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park. On this corner one can simply stand and yell and preach about whatever they want. Most of the time it is about America and other controversial topics like abortion and homosexuality. The people are eccentric and entertaining. Hyde Park is way bigger than I thought. It is about 4 miles wide…unbelievable if you look at a map of

I’ve seen many, many buildings I’ve only seen in books. It’s been amazing. Even to see things like the London Tower which is older than anything in America.

I’m putting all my photos online here.
