Beverly: A Broad

What more could I possibly say?

One country down, three (or four or five) to go!

Well if I do say so myself I saw the shit out of London over the past two days! It was by no means enough time to do this city justice, but hey it is more than I would have seen if I didn't come, right? Today I went to Picadilly Circus (no scary clowns thank goodness), and then walked for seven hours. I went through lots of tourist areas, like Trafalgar Square, Chinatown, and Porntown (Jen, tell Zach I bought him a present!) but also saw some of what I think are more "regular" people areas so that was great. After a while I decided to sit down and have a beer (a nice imported Corona) and then I was going to walk to my next destination but I hopped on the tube instead to go one stop. And I swear to god, when I got out of the next station I could see the restaurant I was just at. Well I guess even a few minutes off your feet is better than nothing, and at least I got some more use out of my day travelcard.

So about 1000 miles (don't believe the hype, they use miles here, not km) later I found may way to the lovely Fortune Theatre and saw a play called "The Lady in Black" which has been running for over 15 years here, so I guess they think it's great. Me, not so much. But it was decent and half price, good enough for me!

Tomorrow I'm just going to wrap up a few things in the morning and then fly to Rome in the afternoon. Ho hum, just another Saturday for me!

    I want a souvenir from porntown!!! Actually maybe not. Glad there weren't any scary clowns *:o)

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the shower situation. I wouldn't have thought to lean up against the button! You're so smart!
