We’ve been seeing, doing, watching many sites around London, yes? (Why do many Londoners insert the question “yes” at the end of their sentences? I’m genuinely entertained and curious.)

Recent visits include:

London Borough of Redbridge Town Hall (Stay tuned to their website, which is set to be updated in a few weeks!)
UK Parliament
Royal Courts of Justice
Trafalgar Square (We’ve all visited this site many times, but it’s always worth mentioning!)
…And although we didn’t visit Westminster Abbey, I still captured a photo and hope to squeeze in a tour of this historic church sometime soon.

Ray, Steve, Sarah, Bruce and Amy (ME!) with Big Ben

Much, much, much more to come soon.

Today was my only completely free, totally unscheduled, and absolute alone day during the whole of my GSE trip. And let me say: the freedom felt nice.

Unfortunately, spending a day alone is synonomous with spending a day lost beyond belief. I was armed with maps and two weeks of London experience, but still managed to turn myself in circles.

Trying to find the National Gallery, I ended up in SoHo. Looking for the British Museum, I wound up in Trafalgar Square.

I fought through insane crowds before realizing I was stuck in the hell of Oxford Street, wandered around Borough Market twice because I wasn’t sure where the food stalls ended, and walked back and forth across the Thames a zillion times, not sure where I was going or even where I wanted to be going.

I’ve decided I need a GPS (excuse me, SatNav) chip installed in my brain.

But on the plus side, I finally got the camera / computer working! Here are a few photos from the past week.
