LONDON

Our first weekend here we decided to take a weekend trip to London, it was a much needed dose of English.  Here saw many of the main sites, including:  Oxford Circus, Regent St, Big Ben, and the London Eye.  It was fascinating how the city has grown, and is still growing.  New buildings composed of spider glass are juxtaposed next to heavy stone, centuries old, structures.  The city is very large, yet intimate while walking down the streets.  It was really cool to see the construction for the cities 2012 summer olympics games.  Old streets suddenly had new saplings planted, with new street lamps, and new center medians.  Construction of new offices and apartments was everywhere.  It makes one notice how little construction there now is in Minneapolis or even Fargo; though I here that Minneapolis has many new apartments planned downtown!  - Fargo will have its day too, it just needs a little more effort
