London and Berlin

Fulbright set us up in a very nice hotel for the annual conference. But for most people, the set up wasn't exactly ideal though, because the rooms must be for couples- the doors to the bathroom and shower were see-through, and in most rooms there was only one bed, or two beds pushed together. So, most people were spooning with someone they didn't know, and one person would have to leave the room when the other wanted to go to the bathroom or shower. Fortunately, my roommate never showed-- I hope she's ok and all that...BUT...I was more than happy to have a room with an awesome view (2nd and 3rd pictures) to myself. The one of me on the bear looks all weird, cos it came out blurry, so I just changed the pixels to make it look neat- that looked better than blurry-- I was promptly reprimanded by an old man for climbing on this bear-- but not before we got a couple of pictures. Finally, the last picture is in front of the Tower Bridge in London-- I took this picture because mom requested that I actually be in some of my pictures. You can't really tell, but I'm getting pretty rained on in this one. It was taken right before I had 15$ fish and chips for lunch (with nothing to drink)...London is expensive. But it was good to visit my friend Kyle from high school. This weekend Dan is coming to visit! So I'm making the trip down to Frankfurt again...should be fun....pictures and stories about that in the next posting. Take care!
