pulling things together and the London Eye

Today we worked in the morning beginning to put the pieces in place for Friday's presentation.

At noon we stopped and quickly returned our class materials to our hotel rooms. Then we headed out to the section of London that holds Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, and the London Eye. We grabbed lunch then met in the really really long queue to await our half hour trip up into the sky above the river Thames.

Finally we were on board and got to enjoy the 360 views of this city we have called our home for the last week and a half.

With that extreme sightseeing over the students were free to go and explore the city more. Tomorrow rain is in the forecast and there is much work to finish before Friday.
I've had the privilege of taking students to London 7x now. For me the city is a bit of an old friend, yet, I can be surprised while walking when I come upon some place just off the paths I'm used to that holds hidden beauty.
