Tour of London

Still in London today, we had a tour of the city and got to see many of the sites. While I like London, it is not really a city that I love in the way that I love say, New York (or even Paris for that matter). After our little tour ended, we got dropped off at Covent Garden and were allowed the rest of the day free. a few of us grabbed a bite to eat at a pasty shop (meat and vegetable filled dough) and then headed over to Trafalgar Square. We looked around and stopped into the National museum, which had some cool stuff. We saw some impressionist work like Cezanne, Monet, and Van Gogh. While we were at Trafalgar Square, one of the girls got approach by a man I have dubbed "the Pigeon Whisperer" but also known as a bum who makes money off of getting the Pirgeons to sit on people. he didn't charge her, but it was a pretty funny site to see her squirm with all of the pigeons on her.

After that, we hopped on the Tube and went over to the Notting Hill area of town, which had a street market and was a really cool little area. We considered going to Abbey Road after that, but after asking some people where it was, decided that it was too far and not cool enough for the work to get there. So instead we went back to our area of town, South Kensington, and visited the Victoria and Albert Museum. There was a cool exhibit of clothing and fashion trends that was exciting. Also, there was a really impressive blown-glass chandelier in the main entrance that was way cool.

When we finished there, we accidently left the museum on the wrong side and ended up close to Harrods than the Natural History Mueseum, so we stopped into Harrods to look around. I bought a pastry that was delicious. After that, we went to H&M and then finally dragged ourselves back to the hotel. Suffice it to say, my feet are tired!

Cannes tomorrow. Good times.
