We spent this week in London. It rained most of the week, which isn't uncommon for England, however, it was also very windy. Being from Kansas, the wind isnt a big deal, but here it brings cities to a halt. The trains were down, people were out of electricity, and apparently about 11 people were killed, but I'm not exactly sure how but wind related. These people wouldn't survive in Kansas' weather-a little wind brings them to a stop and causes havoc.
While in London, we went to the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Tate Britain and Modern, National Gallery, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Parliament, and just walked around. We also went South to Canterbury and Dover.
We're staying in Leeds Saturday and heading to Liverpool on Sunday.
Classes start next Thursday, which is very exciting. I hope I like them, I think I will.
About Me
- Rena
- After living in England and earning my master's from Leeds University, I still haven't figured out what I really want to do in life. Eventually, I would love to work in an art museum-probably somewhere in Europe, but I'm not ready to be tied down quite yet. So, I'm moving to China to teach abroad. I was seeking some kind of new adventure-this shall certainly do.
