Gash Family in London

While our family lives in London for the fall semester we hope to keep in touch with family and friends back home by sharing stories and photos of our adventures.  Our arrival was really a walk down memory lane as we saw familiar places.  We are back living in the Pepperdine House at 56 Prince’s Gate in South Kensington, which is a beautiful area near Hyde Park and several museums (Science, Natural History, and Victoria and Albert).

After spending a couple of days getting settled, we took a three day trip to Ireland.  Because Jim had learned how to drive on the left side of the road in Uganda, he was able to drive our family in Ireland around the Ring of Kerry.  Saying that it was beautiful, really doesn’t do it justice.  I think it is best expressed in photos.

Within a few hours of our return, Jim’s brother Jerry arrived for his first visit to London.  Our kids have enjoyed taking Uncle Jerry to their favorite museums, places to eat, and monuments.  It has been fun for us to see how our kids have grown up and know their way around the city.  They have done a great job planning the daily sightseeing schedule.  Here are some of the things we have seen.

We look forward to many more adventures with our family and with the Law students and Seaver College students this semester.

    Been catching up a little on your blog. I hadn’t read very much of your semester in London. I’m procrastinating on something this morning so I got quite a few entries read and enjoyed learning more about what you all did last semester. 🙂
