I haven't been keeping up...

So, I know that I haven't been very good at keeping up with this... here are some pictures if you haven't already seen them on my facebook account!


The cows of Cambridge... I have been working with Professor Mary Beard of Cambridge on my research, and on my first visit to the campus I decided to walk through the gardens rather than take a cab from their train station. This is what I ran into on my way out... COWS! Right next to me, and they didn't even mind my taking pictures!! Unfortunately my camera batteries died, so you'll have to wait for more pictures of the beautiful campus...





Street Art exhibition at the Tate Modern... really amazing museum as it has been built from an old power plant. The shabby, brick walls which are the first view of the museum have been covered with these enormous paintings and photographs of famous street artists of the modern age.



Naked bicyclists riding down Whitehall Road... at first I thought, in celebration of the Queen's birthday... but no... the are memebers of a group who have come up with this Naked Bike Tour which will be traveling Europe for the next few months... This was during San Meehan's visit... and he and I ran into these folks on multiple other occassions!



Dinner at Nag's Head pub... South London... the best Ham and Cheese Sandwich ever!!! And my half pint of Bitburger :) Very good meal after a long day of trudging around the city with Sam!

And we ran into the naked bicyclists here... for their afterparty






Night on the Thames... this is the London Tower bridge lit up for the evening. And a view from the South bank, but just to the other side is the Tower of London.






My last carnivorous meal in London - but it was really good - Chicken Tikka from the Taste of London. This was a really fun food festival that Teena and I went to at Regents park. The food was phenominal and we saw lots of celebrity chefs... like Gordon Ramsey from the F Word and Hell's Kitchen, and Hugh Fearnley of River Cottage Spring (who has convinced me not to eat meat from the grocery store).
