Another Trip into London







Hi!!

Just got home from my third trip into London since I have arrived to England.  I saw some of the same things I had seen before, because we had a friend with us who had never been to London before.  However, we did get to see some new things!  We came across Picadilly Circus!  For those of you who don't know what that is, it's pretty much a miniature Times Square!  It is a large intersection of several streets with some huge advertisement screens and shopping areas.

I also got to walk across the Tower Bridge!  I got some excellent pictures of the bridge at night all lit up!  I have posted them here.  We walked around the Tower of London as the sun was going down so we could see that lit up as well.  Upon walking around the Tower of London, we made a friend!  The red fox seen in the photograph!  He was extremely friendly and posing for all the tourists cameras!

Well, I hope these pictures look good!  I will be going to Paris in 2 weeks and cannot wait to show you pictures of the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Disneyland Paris, a true French pastry, and The Picaso Museum!  I will be in Paris with 7 other people for 3 days.  We depart from Guildford to Waterloo Station in London around 6 am on Saturday 21 March.  We will then catch the tube from Waterloo Station to Saint Pancres station to get on the Chunnel!  Our train departs London at 8:32 AM and arrives in Paris about 2 1/2 hours later!  We will be staying in Paris until 24 March, when we depart to head back to London at 7:43 AM!  After this trip I am hoping to being the planning for my trip to Dublin, Ireland!

I miss everyone very much!  Can't wait to share more of this amazing once in a lifetime opportunity with you!

See you soon!
