London

We stayed at the Umi Hotel in London.  This one proved to be one of the more "dormy" hotels that we stayed at, and I think it might have been the only one with bunk beds. On a more positive note, though, it was in Notting Hill, one of the nicest neighborhoods in London. Of all the hotels we stayed at, it was probably the best located.  I guess you're always going to have that sort of trade-off. 


First night's dinner in London.  Sadly, the group in Detroit missed out. 




Meanwhile, this is what Mr. Lewis had for dinner in Detroit.

Tower Bridge



Buckingham Palace



Guards 




Some students went to the London Eye in their free time.  It's pricey, but it's got awesome views of the city. 


Many museums are free in London, so we went to check out the Tate Modern.





Seems modern.

We had fantastic luck with the weather overall throughout the entire trip.  I had warned the students over and over again that it would pour down at some point in London, but we had spectacular weather the entire time!
