TONS of new photos

I've been busy uploading more pictures. I think there are three new albums up: "You won't live here again until you're a millionaire", "The Monument" and "Hampton Court". To get to them, scroll allllllllllllll the way down to the very, very bottom of the page, and click on where it says "Check out my London Albums!!" or something like that.
Today was a beautiful, beautiful day and I took advantage of it by doing very obnoxious touristy things. I went with my friend Kendra and climbed the Monument. It was built in 1671 to 1677 to commemorate the Great Fire, which burned most of the City. Fun fact: Everything fell into the river, so at low tide you can walk on the river banks and pick up tons of stuff-- including big bones of even bigger dead things. Anyway, the Monument is 202 feet high, which is exactly the length of the site of the Monument and where it started, on Pudding Lane. It was 311 steps up the spiral staircase, and man, were my calves burning!!
Last night I saw Billy Elliot at Victoria Palace Theatre. It was AMAZING. The seats were awfully small, and I'm luck I'm not any taller, but the dancing was beautiful and the music was great. Seeing live theatre is so much better than seeing movies all the time. We have to get a theatre company in the 'dale. It's probably one of my favorite things about being here. On Tuesday I'm seeing Mother Courage, which stars Aunt Petunia from the Harry Potter movies.
I'm bummed that this weekend is UNH homecoming-- the fourth year in a row that I've missed. Oh well, I guess it's another excuse to be a super senior!
