Nighttime Stroll & Rainy Day Exploration

Last night Joe went to his first theatre production for his British theatre class so Bailey, Alex and I wanted to do something to get out of Vandon House.  Our original plan was to go to the Angel tube stop to see the longest escalator on the tube, but we got sidetracked taking awesome pictures of London at night.

The Eye was all red for national heart month.


I make it look so Big!


The Tower of London at night.  Kinda creepy.


It took us somewhere around 6 tries to get this shot and by the end my catch phase was "Well we can't fix me so let's move on"


The River Thames all lit up.


The London Bridge looks a lot more awesome at night than it does during the day.

So far today we haven't done much.  Alex, Joe and I hopped on a tube and went to Notting Hill.  None of us knew where the famous places were so we just walked and came upon the Kensington Palace and gardens.  We strolled for a while and it began to rain.  Way to go London.  It completely poofed out my hair.  Proof in the pictures below.  There were some differences between Notting Hill and Westminster that I noticed.  First thing, a lot more housing.  It seemed like a mainly residential area, but the stores that they did have were all about interior design and home furnishings.  The other thing was there were a lot more dogs in Notting Hill.  I'm surprised I didn't see more dog poop on the ground.



A sweet statue.  Doesn't he just look like a BA of the olden times?


We found an empty tube car so I had to play!


My wonderful rain ruined hair.  See my bangs curl?  Pure Awesomeness.

Pip Pip Cheerio!
