Sorry!

I'm sorry I haven't been updating much lately. There's so much to do here, I barely have time to sleep! I'd like to assure you that despite the craziness going on in London what with the attempted car bombings, all of my friends and I are fine. I was out when it happened, but we were watching a jazz show in a different part of the city and didn't even find out about it until the next morning. I think I'm going to stay in tonight, though, just in case.

The last few days have been quite an adventure. Yesterday I got up early and went to the Tower of London with my friend Eric. It was pretty crowded, so it took us 5 hours to see everything rather than the 2.5-3 it took others in our group who went during the middle of the week, but we still had a great time and it was really interesting. Then we went and ate on the river Thames near the London eye, then walked over to Trafalgar Square to go to the National Portrait Gallery. That was really neat, because we could see what some of the famous Londoners we've been learning about looked like. On the way to the gallery, we stopped by the Canada Day celebrations in the square and got free Canadian flags, and Eric took my picture with a guy dressed up in a snow suit, trapper hat and goggles, and was carrying old fashioned snow shoes. Then Eric went to a play and I went to the "Dali & film" exhibit at the Tate Modern.

Today a bunch of us went to Portobello and Camden Markets, which were pretty interesting, but it started to rain, so I came back here to read Mrs. Daloway, which I need to have done by Monday morning.

Hope you are all well. I love you and miss you!!!
