Me Doing Fun Things in London

Again, sorry for the delay! Here's a sampling of photos with me in them, because I know you'd rather see those than endless buildings/trees/etc. in London!

Inside Harrods with a few roommates. This was only the 3rd day we were in London.

Bike Riding in Hype Park (in front of the Prince Albert Memorial, which we can see outside our window). We had a beautiful sunny day, so we rented these city bikes.

Kensington Palace, also across the street from the flat.

My friend from Bradley who was here during January.

Hogwarts! (at Oxford)

Feeding the ducks in Oxford. (That's Allie from Shawano behind me with the red hair).

Chinese New Year.

Group lunch, week 2 @ Maggie Jones.

At "Gloucester Arms", our local pub.

Outside the Imperial College Union, where we go about 3 times a week.

Hogwarts again, inside the Great Hall.

More to come eventually!

Istanbul!

Hi Mom and Dad, apologies for slacking on this blog! Here are a few pictures of me around Istanbul in the unfortunately rainy weather: First, some pictures of the Armada Hotel, so that you know I'm in good hands.

Spices and birdcages near the kitchen

Amazing breakfast buffet. I had yoghurt and muesli, tea, fresh orange juice, and lots and lots of dried figs, apricots, dates, etc. (Mom would love it).

Some mosques:

Some flowers brighten things up.

One of my favorite mosaics at Topkapi Palace.

There are cats EVERYWHERE. This one, walking on top of a sacred site :)

Some Turkish delight for dessert. We has blueberry and rose flavored pieces.
