A Garden Wednesday

Today started with another two hours of class. This time it was European Fine Arts...with a major emphasis on London of course. Going to class in the same building that I eat and sleep in is a very different experience. Its funny to just walk down the stairs from my bedroom and find a classroom with desks and stuff. Its also quite convenient though, great for those rushed mornings.

After class Jordan, Rachel and I took the bus to Regent Park to do one of our required walks. It is a beautiful park and it was such a nice day. It was sunny and warm but not too warm where it was uncomfortable to walk around. I loved it. The park has tons of grass, great old trees, and beautiful gardens as well as a lake and a couple ponds you can go boating in. We walked around for a couple hours and just took in the beauty of it all. It is hard to find something like the parks they have here in the states.


Here are a few of the beautiful things we saw in Regent Park.

After the park we were pretty hungry so we found a Pret (very popular here) and ate some great sandwiches - to eat out of course...it costs a lot more to eat in. After lunch we went back to the center to rest for a little and read for our English Lit class. Soon it was dinner time which was followed by some more reading (look at us being so studious haha) and then a trip to one of the many waffle stores down the road. It turns out that waffles and pancakes for dessert are very popular here, with chocolate or ice cream on top. I got a waffle with melted white chocolate on top and it was so so good. It may be a new addiction.

We did a picture exchange today so there are a lot of good ones.

Walking in the rain.

Freezing by the Thames.

Loving the bus ride.

We are so used to the tube now.

In front of the Sherlock Holmes museum that we almost went in.

A London mosque seen from Regents Park.

The girls on a bridge over a lake in the park.

Our "London" faces.

In front of a fountain at the park.

Posing in the park.

I was really excited to get back to the apartment and eat my waffle.
