London

Hi All,



I am finally writing to everyone since I seem to be really lousy at emailing. So this blog is about my experiences in London. You will see a lot of pictures of places and things you have seen in the travel guides because I am a tourist. Then again you will probably see pictures they wouldn't ever put in the travel guides. All will probably be accompanied by my own strange sense of humor.

First of all I am over here working on a moth project at the Natural History Museum. The butterfly from above is in the Creepy Crawlies area of the museum. You are probably going to see a lot of insect related pics so be prepared.


This is of course what you see when you first enter the museum. I visited during the week so notice the lack of people. I'll include a few more pics of the outside next time. I'll also show what it's like on a weekend, yuck. Admission is free but I hope you like crowds. Anyway they are in the middle of reorganizing and adding on so they have moved all the Lepidoptera (moths and Butterflies) and a few other small insect orders off-site. They will apparently stay here until the rennovation project is completed (sometime late 2008). The site is called the Wandsworth facility (see next pic). Not much to look at on the outside but the Lep collection on the inside is the largest and arguably best in the world.
















This is all for now. I hope to add more in just a few minutes. Just need to see how this looks.
