Just a Quick Hello

My post today is going to be very brief because I am battling a cold and feeling quite under the weather. I began the day by going to BAE Systems, which is a company that build airplanes, ships, submarines and land vehicles. This company is quite similar to Boeing, but it is based out of the UK. With locations in several countries, BAE Systems has grown to be quite a large global company. I enjoyed learning about all the companies that function under BAE Systems. I think the way the BAE Systems has divided its duties is an efficient and effective method. Rather than one company trying to accomplish a variety of tasks, BAE Systems realized the benefit of delegating work. I think that this is a great concept because the work is getting done by those who best know how to do it. After the presentation, I headed back to Portobello Market to buy some fresh produce. I took some photos of the market today so I could share with all of you how wonderful this place is. With lots of jewelry, farm fresh produce and a variety of clothing, this market is definitely on my list of must-see places in London. After the market, I headed back to my flat to nap because I wasn't feeling too well. Having rested a bit, I headed to the Tate Modern Museum for my Travel and Tourism class. This museum is home to lots of modern art made of all sorts of items. I enjoyed this visit because it was unlike anything I had done in London thus far. After the museum, I walked across the Millennium Bridge toward St. Paul's Cathedral. The view from this bridge was absolutely beautiful so I have provided some pictures for you all to enjoy. Sorry for the short post, hopefully I'll be better tomorrow and have some more exciting things to share.
