London in pics...

Here is Vaithegi and me in a tree at the University Parks in Oxford. There were some guys behind us playing ultimate frisbee which was cool to watch, and in the spirit of picture taking, we decided to pose in the tree because it was pretty!
This is the "Tree of Life" at the British Museum and is a creation made by artists in Mozambique out of guns. In order to bring peace to their country, the government started the practice of giving tools to its citizens in exchange for their guns. They would get one tool per a gun. The government then took the guns and chopped them up into pieces so they could no longer be used. Using those bits and pieces, the artists built a tree and some animal figurines as a symbol of the peace this motion brought about for the nation. It is quite the creation to behold and in my opinion, one of the best uses of a gun that I’ve ever seen.
Here is me at Notting Hill posing with my wonderful hat head (hahahaha...a permanent do throughout this trip b/c it was cold). Katelyn and I tried to look for Hugh Grant's house in the movie, but no luck and no Hugh or Julia either! ;)
The British Library: here is a picture of one of the old manuscripts that I took before getting yelled at for taking pics...we weren't supposed to, but I didn't realize that until the guard very angrily told me. :S I apologized and then just looked and looked to my hearts content. As for the picture, it is a Coran from the Middle Ages.
And lastly, here is me in one of my many famous weird poses! I stripped off my coat and layers in order to take my picture wearing my "The best girls are Canadian shirt" in front of the Canadian Gate by Buckingham Palace and St. James part. Hahaha, I love how my patriotism just sort of kicked in against all reason!
