Week of April 19th
Good afternoon my faithful readers,
The weekend was fine, it did rain a bit so the plans to work on the Forbes` garden fell through. The weekend was joyous even with the rain, this is because it was Cody`s and Martin`s birthday on saturday and Margret`s birthday on monday! My birthday is in June, so I felt a little out of place.
The classes are fine, it is alot different to study in places like Hyde Park on a bench by the Serpentine compared to sitting indoors at a desk! The last Brit Life and Culture Course we talked about museums and the different types of gallaries that you can see here in London. I have been to a couple of the lovely museums around here among those are the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Science Museum. The British Museum has a wide variey of works on many different floors, most things are just figures and objects. The Victoria and Albert Museum has been my favorite, having objects just as the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum has more art and has less objects from a wider range of backrounds. The Science Museum is interesting in that it has little art and more science, as the name hints at.
To tell my dear readers I will be leaving for Moscow, Russia from May 6th to the 11th so I might not be blogging on those days, but I will give a full report when I get home! It has been a dream for me to go to Red Square, see the former KGB headquarters, see Lenin's mosuleumn, and other places like the Bolshoi Circus!
Shalom my friends,
Cheers!
Ken Nelson

Hello my faithful readers! How are each and every one of you? Times are good here in London, England while I am studying over here for a term. I am from a small city in the Portland Metropolitan Area in Oregon called Forest Grove. Go Viks! Yeap I am still a high school student but took my classes over at Portland Community College (PCC) and decided to get involved with this program.
There are many things that have happened so far, and I hope to be able to answer all of your questions in due time.
Feel free to send me your comments and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all.
