Pictures Finally!













Another grey day here in London, but it's been a fun week moving in and touring the city. Yesterday was spent on an early morning bus tour of the entire city! The pictures on page are from that outing. The tour was about 4 hours long and we covered everything from interesting history to current affairs, from Churchhill to Harry Potter. After heading up to 'High Street', which is the main shopping area near me, I signed up for my first trip! I'm heading to Wales at the end of October for an adventure weekend of cliff diving, hiking, kayaking, biking and surfing. Check out the website Mom...it's perfectly safe.

Figuring out travel here is really exciting, everything is so close! If I haven't mentioned before I'm heading to Paris in mid-September for a long weekend. This trip is included in my program and gives access to the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and a trip to Versailles...I cannot wait!

Last night was spent in the heart of
the city with friends. We all took the
tube (underground) right into Piccadilly Circus, which is London's 'Time Square'. We made our way around and met up with other students from our school.
Nightlife in London is fabulous.


The plans for tonight involve a Thames
evening boat cruise up and down the center of the city with my classmates. I'm off to go shopping with friends for this evening at Oxford Circus. I think I've been able to get in touch with most of you. If not feel free to e-mail: kscurloc@providence.edu.

Keep in touch!

Lots of Love xoxo,
Kate

Dear Kate,

It didn't take long to fit right in in true Walsh fashion. You will have the time of your life. I loved Paris and can't wait to hear all about it. Try and walk from the Louve to the Champs Elyssa. I know I spelled them wrong. Mom and I did that one day a long time ago.
Love you tons,
Jo, Tom, Nicholas and Caroline.
