Yesterday we visited Stonehenge and Bath. It was about a 2 hour drive to Stonehenge, then a 1 hour drive to Bath. We had another "brilliant" day to spend outside, as you can see from my pictures. Stonehenge was amazing! I can't even fathom how people moved those huge stones! The only downfall is that tourists are no longer allowed to get close to the stones, so we could only observe from a distance. After spending about an hour at Stonehenge, we left f...

This morning we met a guide at 10 am to begin a walking tour of Maida Vale. We have been spoiled with 4 beautiful days in London! It was a little chilly this morning, but the sun was shining bright enough to wear sunglasses. My favorite part of the walking tour was probably Regent's Park because it's so pretty! We also walked along the Maida Vale canal for almost a mile. After lunch we went to the International Student House (ISH), where we can see free movies an...

Today we took a coach tour of the city, which was great! I was able to see all of the major tourist attractions, although I was not able to get good pics of everything since we were on a bus.

We were able to get out of the bus to walk up to Buckingham Palace. The walk took us by St. James Park, which was beautiful today ...

Cheers!! Now I feel like I'm really in London because I had my first tube experience today!

This morning we had an orientation at the school building about "living in London." Our classes are held in a building on Bloomsbury Square, which is near Oxford Circus. It is a very charming area with lots of cafes and shops. I...

After a long flight and bus ride, I finally arrived at Elon's London flats at around 10:30 this morning (UK time)!! The weather is actually really nice here- it was around 55 degrees F when we arrived. I was able to get settled in my room, which I will share with two other girls, and get semi-familiar with the area. Our flats are in Little Venice, which is a really cute residential area. We took a walk up to the canal and back this afternoon, which was really pre...
