Fridays at the center mean no class! But since we have homework it was still an early morning to meet up with my group for European Fine Arts and visit the National Portrait Gallery. Our assignment is to make up questions for the entire class to answer when they visit next week. Then, in class on Thursday, we have to give a presentation about the Gallery. It wasn't a bad assignment and the National Portrait Gallery is definitely worth a visit. Some of the pictures in there are amazing.
Because we arrived at the Gallery a little early, we took a walk around Trafalgar square and decided to pay the lions there a visit.
It took a lot of work to get up there but the slide down was definitely worth it!
We also took some pictures at the base of Nelson's column in the square.
The entrance to the National Portrait Gallery.
After the Portrait Gallery we took off to Kensington Gardens to do our walk around there, and then over to Hyde Park (they are connected and its really hard to find the boundary between the two) to do another. It was a beautiful day so we decided to rest in Hyde Park and take a little nap.
Kensington Palace from the side.
Queen Victoria in front of Kensington Palace. She was born here.
In front of the gates to Kensington Palace.
Resting in Hyde Park.
In front of the Peter Pan Statue in Kensington Gardens.
The flowers in the parks are beautiful.
Showing off our sunburns (and a little cleavage...Jordan haha) from our day in the park.
Some more pictures of scenes from the gardens.
