Ursuline Prep

We had so much fun with the young prep students this morning. Lots of great pictures and video to follow.

Unfortunately the weather is preventing our picnic and cycling to the commons. It also made walking to school today an adventure.

Tower Bridge, soggy streets, and sisterhood

Today met us with cooler temperatures and another full day of walking in London proper.

After our morning powwow at school, we hoofed it to Wimbledon Station.



We were meant to visit the Imperial War Museum. But instead we walked along the bank of the Themes--saw Parliament, Big Ben, and etc from the other side. And spyed with our little eyes the big London Eye.



We got caught in the rain waiting for our bus to Tower Bridge.











And finally made it to the bridge and its exhibits--and great views of London...and the rain.
















Sorry for the less than stellar iPhone pictures--you can understand why I didn't have the big camera out today.

We had a delicious lunch at Côte Brasserie on the water. It was a very grown up affair. And my chicken was the best I've maybe ever had.









We saw some dandies on the tube in the posh part of town on our way to shopping, surreptitiously captured here:



Check out his striped socks. And his suit was probably more expensive than my mortgage payment.

So that's why I just bought a few sale pieces at Topshop







If you look carefully you can see the handbag an anonymous member of our delegation purchased. ;)

Tomorrow is our Serviam day at the prep and our famous bicycle outing to Wimbledon Common. Wish us clear skies!
