Sightseeing in the UK: Photos!

Due to my busy schedule, I neglected putting up photos from my recent adventures. Here they are, enjoy:

1. Monday, Nov. 17- Bus tour to Oxford, Stratford Upon Avon and Warwick Castle

Standing in front of Oxford University's library.

This is William Shakespeare's birthplace in the town of Stratford upon Avon. He was born and raised here and also started his own family at this home. It is currently open for tourists.

In the town of Stratford upon Avon. They had already put up Christmas decorations!

I opted not to go inside Warwick Castle but it was great to see it up close. It certainly looked great with the cloudy weather.

Saturday, Nov. 22- The Tower of London

Here I am at the Tower of London, the legendary medieval fortress and prison. It has a long history of military action, political scandal and torture. This is where King Henry VIII got rid of his wives!

Here I am trying out an old weapon used to defend the Tower.
