The London Eye

Last night LSE sponsored a trip to the London Eye followed by a pub crawl and tour along the south bank (ending right near my dorm, Sidney Webb!).  It was amazing.  The London Eye trip started right at dusk, and as the ferris wheel turned throughout the 40 minute rotation, it went from blue sky to sunset to night, so we got to see downtown london in three different lights.  It was beautiful, you could see the houses of parliament, Big Ben (which just refers to the bells, not the clock, as I learned during the pub crawl and south bank tour/pub crawl), the aquarium (which was all lit up in red and green), Saint Paul cathedral, and all of the other beautiful buildings that are in central london.  I will post more photos later, I have to wait to steal them off of other people's facebook pages until my camera comes in a few days.
