London

This is the Imperial War Museum, probably my favorite museum.

And this is a piece of the Berlin Wall.

And this is the WW1 Trench Experience, a smelly and noisy realistic trench experience.

This is at Borough Market, a place where you can by the best cheeses, vinegars, oils, sausages, and chutneys. As well as the best kangaroo and ostrich burgers. They were out of kangaroo, so I got the ostrich. Borough is only open on the weekends, so I only got to go once.
This is the Natural History Museum, Taylor's favorite building in all of London town.

Trafalgar square

A FUN art exhibit at the Tate Modern Art Museum. I only got 3 steps across the rope.


This is at the Tower of London, the rebelling army is attempting to take the tower.

Needs no explanation. I'm on my way to Hogwarts of course.

Some of the people I've spent my time with the last month; Kindra, Kendal, Wade, Kit, Taylor.

This is inside Harrods, a massive department store that is the principal reason people find it necessary and okay to destroy the Western world one "innocent" person at a time.

Also taken inside Harrods.

This is one of the many greenhouses at Kew Gardens, my favorite place in London.


The Japanese Gate at Kew.



Inside the British museum, where everything from everywhere has been taken by the Brits and put on display.


This is at the Science Museum.

And this one is for you M'kenze.

Manually assembled Carmel Apple Pie Sundae.

York, Hadrian's Wall, and Newcastle

The National Railway museum in York. This place had the most interesting exhibit on the Indian Railways.



York was very pretty. That cathedral thing in the back is Yorkminster.
The street that this building is on is made up of all buildings from the 16th century.

Epic.


The climb to the top of this tower was difficult, as you can see. In this tower hundreds of Jews in the 11th century so that they would not be killed by the Christians persecuting them.

I guess geese always get the right-of-way in York. They waited for the light, but it changed to fast.

This is Hadrian's Wall, the Roman Emperor started constructing it in the 2nd century to secure Great Britain against attacks from what we now call the Scottish to the North. It was kind of a boarder between England and Scotland.










I have never seen the old classic Robin Hood movie, but this is the very famous Cyprus tree that was in the movie.






I am standing in the middle of one of the Roman forts that they had on the Wall. I am standing right outside of what used to be the soldiers barracks.



I guess this is what I look like while watching music videos (they were pretty terrible)...

This is the New Castle that they city of Newcastle got it's name from.
