Can't chat, got to catch the last tube ride to my ghetto hostel in 30 minutes and I've got a 25 minute walk! Just wanted to put up my pictures from last night and today:

I'm in the hostel now, so I'll add some descriptions to these pictures. I'm staying with three American girls I believe (based on the North American plugs to the hair dreyers), but they haven't come home yet. It's quite possible I'm in the wrong room, since my bed wasn't made up and my paperwork says room 111, but my key is for room 102. It should be an akward experience if they come home drunk and 3AM and there are four instead of three.

This is the entrance to Westminster Abbey, the last place photographs can be taken until the exit. I believe the carvings are of the 12 apostels.

A shot farther back of the Abbey -- it really is huge!

No trip to London is complete without a visit to Big Ben. You can't really get very close to it, not that you'd want to since the cool pictures are from a few blocks back anyway.  I didn't know that Big Ben was connected to the government buildings. Then again, I didn't know much about Big Ben anyway.

Buckingham palace, enough said. The front yard looks a little boring if you ask me!

Some building at night... can't remember what it is.

Today there was a gay pride parade, can't pass up a picture of that!

Shakespeare's Globe Theature at night.

This big ferris wheel on the River Thames. It moves really slowly though and each cabin holds like 20+ people, so it's not exactly the coolest ride. I didn't get on it.
