St. Paul's Cathedral

As our final field trip for our Criminal Justice course, we visited the Crown Court and Royal Courts of Justice on July 30. At the Royal Courts of Justice, we were given a formal tour of the building and the history. At the Crown Court, we were able to sit in on a court hearing. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take pictures inside either of these buildings. Crown Court was near St. Paul's Cathedral, so we walked over there to stop in and look at the architecture.

The London Zoo

The ZSL London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. It is home to 755 species of animals, and is suppose to be one of the best zoos in the world. It was a very hot day when some of us decided to go, so some of the animals hid inside or in the shade.

Farewell Dinner

The last Friday we were in England, August 2, we had a farewell dinner at a Holiday Inn down the road from our dorms in Surbiton. Everyone dressed "smart" and we were given an appetizer, buffet dinner, wine, and dessert. There were awards given from the photo frenzy scavenger hunt. After the dinner a DJ played music and we all spent our last Friday together.
