Photo Log from London!!!

Tower of London

This is the spot where Henry VIII had a bunch of people killed, including 3 of his wives. They made it all artsy and stuff.

The center of the Tower of London- where all the gift shops are. It was very sunny that day.

The Queen's Crown and sceptre- i got in trouble for taking this, which is why it's a little blurry. I was rushing to put my camera away, but I still did it!

Tower of London from the entrance.

Some paintings featuring historical landmarks of London- the guy who painted these was very talented. I ended up purchasing my own painting for only 10 pounds. Kind of a steal, really. I would have paid more....

Really fancy government building across the street of Tower of London

Me on top of Ashley and Nickie. haha. good times...

photo opp in the common room- max, nandine, and me! wtf happened to max!?

really cool alley on the way to the British Museum

The Enlightenment Room

Queen Cleopatra's sarcophagus

We had to break for tea time. There was just so much to see in Egypt, we needed to rest!

the Great Room of the British Museum. this is the Ceiling. It was huge.

and up the stairs we go!

Seated Sakhmet- also a big deal. The B museum only has it, cuz they stole it, though

This is a statue of Ramses II- the hole on the left of the statue was caused by Napolean's expedition in trying to excavate the statue. Idiot...

Sarcophagus of Merymose-- this is a big deal...

hieroglyphs

Rosetta Stone- the reason we are able to read hieroglyphs today

Outside the British Museum.

I was walking back home from campus and I just NEEDED a picture of this sky. It was, "as clear as an azure sky of deepest summer." - Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange

Ashley, Ellen, and Sam walking through some tunnels in Windsor

the Green.

a hallway in Windsor Castle. It's not accessive at all, don't worry.

Windsor's China Room-- China as in dishes not the country. obviously. haha.

State Dinner room in Windsor Castle

Knighting Room- you can't see the podium up front because there were soooooo many people there today. The family doesn't stay here this time of year so they open everything up to tourists, I guess everyone wanted their fix of royalty....

The Church inside the walls of Windsor Castle
