A Norwegian Fir!

Tonight was a landmark evening. Today was the lighting of the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square. For the past 62 years Norway has given Britain a tree for Christmas as a thanks for support during World War Two. I stood in the cold for two hours to get a good spot and to see them flick the switch to turn on the lights. Unfortunately when the switch was flipped I was looking the other way and missed it. But there are pictures of the 90 foot tall, 90 year old tree. Check out the pictures of course!!

Tomorrow I will be heading north west to Oxford. Look for a lot of pictures from there!

Ten to go

I’m now down to only 10 days! I just finished one paper in anticipation for the semester’s end. That just leaves one more to type up and a final to complete.

It’s a very cold day here in London today. It’s a chilly 36ºF. I guess this is preparing me for my return home. I’m ready for it to start snowing here any minute. It looks like I may be attending a comedy show this evening with some friends. I have to figure out how to look as anonymous as possible. I don’t want to be picked on! He He! Take care guys and look out for Christmas Tree pictures tomorrow evening!!
