Adventures aplenty

Goodness gracious it rains a lot in England. I mean, you hear about how much it rains here, and people joke about how much it rains here, and it's always cloudy in British TV shows...but holy crap! It rains all the time here. Just one time I'd like to wake up and think about going for a walk in the sunshine.
We have a good few weeks of Valentine's Day, Anna's birthday--and soon to come Anna's B-day 2.0: Fashion Weekend. Classes are well under way, and Trevor is keeping busy with reading and classwork, and interestingly enough still finding time to go out to the pubs with friends.
Here are some more pictures for your perusal:


Here we are in front of Buckingham palace, and ta-da! THERE'S BLUE SKY BEHIND US!

This is a cool view of Westminster Abbey, as they have it lit up at night:

And here is the always popular Big Ben, on the corner of the Houses of Parliament, and in the background the London Eye, a trip on which we are saving for a later date:

Cheers!

A couple more of early-ish London experiences. Conspicuously absent from most photos will be me--since someone has to take all these pictures. But, you'll see Anna in front of the Victoria monument, The Royal Dragoons during the changing of the guard, and Anna with Stephanie and Alexei--the Siberian Tiger!

Taking off..

Sorry about the delay in getting this started. There is so much "newness" happening that we haven't set aside time to keep everyone involved....our apologies. However, it's probably a good sign that we aren't just sitting around updating a blog.
Instead, we've been seeing sights, making friends, and breathing in London every day and night.

We'll try to add comments with the pictures and keep things in some kind of order. So, here we go...







Here is us at the luxurious Lancaster Hall Hotel. The land of tiny rooms and fickle heating;

also our neighborhood block in Victoria;

Sunset over Buckingham Palace;

Also the view down a snowy residential lane in Paddington;
