A couple weeks ago, I went on a school trip to London, England to study the Victoria Train station. The rest of the semester home here in Austin, we will be redesigning the station to make it uh…. hopefully at least bearable.

So I arrived at 6:20am and we started right away on our little tour of London. My professor is British so led us around to some of his favorite parks and sites. We started at the British Museum with its glorious atrium space by Foster + Partners. Simon surprised us with a visit to the John Soane Museum. No photos were allowed inside but photos wouldn’t have done it justice anyway… That guy was crazy. The multi story row house was packed with relics, stained glass, mirrors, and antiques.

We checked out the Tate Modern briefly but not really long enough to see any of the exhibits so I had to take a trip back there. We ended the day with some modern asian food and I went home and passed out, half-way delusional at 10pm. I had been awake a whopping 44 hours straight. That’s a new record for me.
