Pen Sketches 

         Yesterday's events involved a lot of orientation, a lot of walking, and plenty of architecture appreciation--which is hard to miss in London. I'll probably go back and edit the above sketches, but for now these will have to do!

        The interesting bits happened in the evening and in quick succession. First, was a visit to a Dutch pancake place on High Street, which were basically giant, delicious crepes that tasted more like a dessert (pear and cinnamon with ice cream) than a dinner, but oh well! It was worth it. 

        After getting back to the flat, I ended up accompanying some of the others to a pub and club outing. We went to the pub "Queen's Arms" (yes, "arms" seems to be a common way to end a pub name around these parts) and enjoyed a drink just outside in an interesting side street nearby. The club, however, didn't really happen. This was probably for the best because it was only really the second full day since we arrived and required--for me at least--a bit more preparation and liquid courage.

       The weather was very pleasant on Friday and I'm starting to get in the habit of drinking tea in the morning with breakfast.
