Off to Neverland with Peter and Back to London with the Famous Redheaded Twins

It was a great week here in London!

On Monday and Tuesday, I worked on my first video production class project.  After filming over the weekend, I edited and completed the video and have attached the link to watch it on YouTube below... Discover London.

Allyson and I also spent Tuesday afternoon exploring Hyde Park, where we found Peter Pan! It is always so lovely to walk through the park! None of the dogs here are kept on leashes (or leads as they call them)... they are left to roam free and enjoy themselves in the park too! It is so fun to see them all running after squirrels and it also makes me miss Cruiser!!!

We also found this monument for Queen Caroline! =)

Italian Fountains in Hyde Park 

I had a great day on Wednesday!  After Art and Architecture class all morning, I went to the National Gallery (at Trafalgar Square) with my History of London class, which was fantastic!  It was amazing to see all of the important European paintings displayed there.  I also really enjoy the professor who gave the tour, as she is also a professional tour guide aside from teaching, so that added to the experience as well!

After that we walked a bit more on our tour, learning about the famous British artists who lived in the surrounding areas.  We finished in Covent Garden! (I have visited this market before and had so much fun exploring it for a second time!!)

I also found a Disney store!!! London AND Disney.... life is so good!! =) 

I finished off the night with a video conference about Homecoming Committee back at GCC!  It was fun to see Megan, Emily, and Madeline!  I am also really looking forward to seeing Madeline in a few weeks in Paris!!

Today was rainy and cold... but after class, I went to 23 Egerton Terrace... the filming location for the London house in The Parent Trap!!  You could practically smell the "peppermint and pipe tobacco" from outside the place where Annie, Elizabeth, and Grandfather lived!!  

The adventure continues... I am looking forward to heading out early tomorrow morning for a weekend visit to Belgium!! 

Until next time! =)
