A Good Trade

When I travel to places with exciting landmarks or see really awesome things, I really want my picture taken in front of them. Of course. We all want that. A picture with me in front of Stonehenge is so much cooler than just a scenic picture. The problem with that is always getting someone to take the picture. You give you camera to someone else and they take your picture. Then you swap and take their picture with their camera. This is how it's always been.

I've worked it out with my friends here that we simply take pictures of each other with our own cameras and send each other the pictures. It's so much easier! I just got a fresh batch of pictures with me in them, so here they are.

Some of us in front of St. Paul's Cathedral

In front of the Prince Albert Memorial

There was some question as to whether or not I was allowed to be in this courtyard area, so the picture was taken quickly and I hopped back onto the path.

Finally! A real British phone booth!

The Tower Bridge

Big Ben!

The London Eye. Didn't really taste like chicken.

From the courtyard of Westminster Abbey. You can't take pictures inside.

Thoughtful stance in the entryway of Warwick Castle

The highest point of Warwick Castle. Sporting my beast of a jacket, fur and all.

I changed the comment system on here, so you don't have to have an account to leave a comment. Mom emailed me and said half the church among other people know that i wore a pair of socks for three days running, so I know there's a bunch of people reading this. If you wouldn't mind leaving a comment, even it's just a hi, and signing your name just so I know who's reading this, that would be awesome. Thanks! Hope you're enjoying it.

Response to comment: Yes, I have changed my socks.

OK my all time favorite is the "thoughful stance" pic. That can be the album art for your first solo CD. :)

Great pictures, Josh. Did you see any peacocks walking around on the grounds at Warwick? The wax figures look so real. Suggestion: Go to one church service at St.Pauls Cathedral while you are there. Awesome church! Need money for new socks?

I tried to leave a comment a while ago but I tossed that idea when I found out I had to make another account for something Im probably only going to use a few time. I dont remember what I was going to say but the mere fact it was coming from me means it was important ;) hope you are having a blast!

So the first red phone booth you saw? Where was it? Looks like in front of the V&A. You know they started to get rid of those but people bought them for their homes and such and the Brits realized they didn't like this. So they kept them!

I love that you are having such a grand adventure. Can't wait 'til you get back.

I took my last test yesterday. Hopefully I passed and can have my life back.
