View from the Second Level of St. Pauls Cathedral. We climbed all 580 steps up and back down again. Apparently people used to be A LOT shorter - even I had to duck a lot to get up those stairs.

Tower Bridge. The Tower of London is just on the other side of the bridge.

The Musem of Childhood in London, in the Beatrix Potter exhibit.

The White Tower in the Tower of London. Built in 1077 for William the Conqueror, and home of many monarchs since him, including Henry VIII.

Henry VIII's armour. He actually wore it, which is really neat. However, his ... er ... protection is a little boastful, don't you think.

An axe used in many executions at the time of Henry VIII. This axe is on display at the Tower of London, also home to the Queen's Crown Jewels.
When one was about to be beheaded, it was customary to tip. The better the tip, the quicker you died.
One exception to the axe for beheading was Anne Boleyne, who was afraid of dying. She asked her husband, Henry VIII, for some mercy. He agreed, and she was to be beheaded by a sword. The plan was for the sword to be hidden in the hay on the ground. As she walked up, her lady-in-waiting called out and she looked at her. The executioner quickly grabbed the sword, a very sharp sword, and beheaded her before she knew what had happened. It was said that it happened so fast that her eyes were still looking around the crowd for 90 seconds as her head was displayed.

Picadilly in London, a very vibrant area at night. L-R: Erica, Dave, Juan, Laura and me.

The cliffs in Burling Gap recede by about a half metre every year. The shore also has chalk rocks - if you touch the rock, you get chalk "dust" all over your hands.

Katie, Simone, Sara, Ruth, Me and Katie in Alfriston. People seem to be crazy drivers in England, yet they never hit eachother or pedestrians. As crazy as they are, they are not at all aggressive, and road rage just doesn't seem to exist. That doesn't negate their craziness, though.

Me in Alfriston.

A tea shop in Alfriston. I think this town was just about the most beautiful town I've ever seen.

Lisa and me in front of the post office. It was a Sunday, so it was closed. In case you hadn't noticed, there are two Lisas and two Katies.
