London Eye!

I finally rode the London Eye on Sunday. We were given tickets as a part of the program here in London and I hadn't gone yet. Sunday was a beautiful, sunny day so it was a good day to ride the Eye.

Walking up to the Eye.

Looking up while waiting in the queue (also known as the line).

The capsule next to ours as we were starting the ride.

House of Parliament, the Bell Tower, and Big Ben on the way up around the Eye.

Looking north up the Thames River.

The tower in the center is near where my flat.

Looking at Buckingham Palace, it is the building past/in the middle of all of the green space.

Looking down at the old County Hall Administration building, this now houses the London Aquarium amongst other things.

Our group as we were finishing the ride.

And finally, a picture of me taken by someone else!
