A Tour of the Old City

Our first ride on the Tube together, but not our last.

Young minds being shaped and molded.

The entrance on the left was once used by nuns of a particular order (and whose name I have already forgotten) who were said to have led a colorful existence, in clear opposition to the authorities. As for the one on the right, you'll have to guess at what is behind the door.

Ross, Jacob and Brian each follow the beat of a different drummer. Well, at least on this tour.

An intrigued Alejandra.

Sandy and Ana hear about the strength and political power of the Guildhalls.

Stephanie and Alejandra are just happy to be here (in London).

We just saw the theatre production of The Thirty Nine Steps, and this area of Leadenhall looks so much like a movie set with actors milling around.

Alex seizes the moment to make new friends under the Leadenhall Arcade.

Ever so stylish, Alina and Kiah take to the streets of London as if they have lived here for years.

Oh my! It's getting chilly here.

Paul and Jacob concentrate on architectural details found on the pickle-shaped building designed by Sir Norman Foster.

Despite adverse weather, students are committed to learning more about London's history.

If you don't look up every once in a while, you will miss the incredible architecture.

The intoxicating mix of new and old is what brings us to London.

A handsome Ivan contemplates what it would take to live in London for the rest of his life.

An angelic appearing Ana looks to the sky.

And here it is again, that incredible juxtaposition of the modern and the historical.
