Sheffield: Home of Luis and Simon

I spent most of my visit to England in Sheffield (at least, sleeping in Sheffield).

Sheffield

Here is a little scenic view of the industrial side of Sheffield. This picture was taken from the window of Luis and Simon's apartment building.

Simon's work

This building is where Simon spends his days. He works for a company that makes colored goods, but I can't remember its name. It will come to me...

Sheffield Hallam University

Luis has taken some classes at Sheffield Hallam University during his stay in the UK.

Millenium Gallery

Sheffield built this gorgeous art museum for the millenium. It displays much of the historical art of Sheffield as well as some contemporary pieces.

puzzle

This puzzle is at the entrance to one of the galleries. Many people spent much time before us trying to assemble it. It took Luis and me a few minutes to figure out that it was broken and then we were able to fix it and complete the puzzle. We were so proud of ourselves :-)

my drawing of Baby Jesus

The same gallery also had supplies so that we could draw the art there! I drew the baby that is in the picture next to me, but fortunately it did not show up in this picture (I haven't taken a drawing class since elementary school and it is not my forte...)

Bacardi Breeze

This drink is Luis's favorite (it has to be cranberry!).

acting

Luis practiced with his acting group one afternoon. On the very left is his friend Anne. They were practicing outside for an outside performance in Greece.
