December 5th 4:40 PM (8:41AM in the California/Washington)
Today it rained alot as I walked to the city of Westminster. I saw Buckingham Palace which is famous for its guards that march around with the bright red suites and tall hats. Then I spent some time in the Library reading. People walk and drive really fast around here, and you dont want to get in anyones way or they'd probably plow you over. I cant describe the amount of amazing buildings around here. Everywhere I go I see statues and huge buildings of stone. Arcetectually, they remind me of Rome.
Yesterday I went to the museum. It was free, and there was just so much to see. I decided to see the Chinese, Ancient Europe, Roman Europe and a few other things then I left. I could have stayed there weeks. They had some great stuff.
Well Im going to get ready to go see a musical play tonight. In London I think musicals are alot mor epopular then movie theatures. At least I see alot more theatures. Afterall this is the area Shakesphere lived. there were alot of musicals to see: Hairspray, Billy Eliot, Cats, and many more. I chose Lord of the Rings. Take care.

December 3rd Monday 12:30 Hello friends and family.
I am writting to you all from a St. Vincent de Paul cafe near the
Thames river in London. There is an art exibit here called "Dignity".
It is a collection of art by people who live in in London and have
the HIV virus. Two peaces that I like particularly are: a self
portrait by a man who lost his ability to speak from the virus, but
the painting seems to show his will to live, hard to explain. The
other is done by a women who has had thedisease for over 10 years and
has taken no drugs, but she claims that she is very healthy through
natural living. Very cool. This morning I
met a nice women named Sharlet who was on her way to Ganya in Africa,
and we chatted over breakfast. She was trying to find some medication
for Malaria prevention. Turns out she owns a hostel in Falmouth
Cornwall, and she invited me there. She said she traveled alot and
opened the hostel not for profit, it doesn`t make alot of money, but
to give something back. I guess the Thames is pretty heavily
polluted there was a floating contraption I saw in the river which is
about 15 feet wide, the river is much wider of course (I guess 200
feet), on the side of this device was a sign that read "This device is
keeping the river clean by collecting 40 tonnes of litter every year"
Ill try to send a picture later. Hope your all doing well.

London December 2nd 8:12 AM
Arrived in London yesterday. The weather is nice here. The streets were hard for me to navigate at first, but I thought them and the old buildings made up for it. Most of the buildings appear to be at leas ta hundred years old and are made of brick. I am currently staying in a place called the Astor Museum Inn right next to the Brittish Museum. Last night I went out looking for good food and music and found a pub called O'neils where a couple of guys were playing Irish rock music. I think today I want to go out and take some pictures and see the Thames River. I hope everyone is enjoying America.
Sincerly,
Micah

Tomorow I leave to London
I just had a great going away party. Thanks to everyone who came. Tomorrow I fly to London where I will be for a week. There are allot of things I want to see and learn about there. I will go to the museum, see the Tower Bridge, Westmister Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Thames River, Buckingham Palacethe historic old buildings and check out the music scene in the local pubs. Thats alot to do in one week, so I'll have to spend my time wisely. The Hostel I'll be at is right near the Brittish Museum, which is in the Bloomsburry district in the center of the city. I think the museum is going to be a kick. It is said to have the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities outside of Egypt, as well as quite a bit of art from the Middle East.
