It is daybreak on Day 2. Ok, not daybreak, stricktly speaking, but it sounded good. I was up pretty early, after a less than stellar sleep....
A quick report about yesterday:
Most of the day was spent roaming without purpose through the streets of London. I left the hostel and walked south and through the beautiful Regent's Park. It was excellent weather - no rain is sight! Many cute young boys(...too young you dirty birds) playing football and old men walking little dogs (not nealy so cute as Calvin or Finnigan, I am happy to report. I also made it to Shaftsbuty Ave (the "West End"), Trafalgar Square (where they were showing free films!), Westminster Abbey and the Parliament Buildings (yawn. Parliament. But I'm planning on heading back to the Abbey today to look at all the crypts (Crypts! Fun!). Towards the end of the day, I hit the National Gallery (saw lots of Caravaggio, Raphael, Michaelangelo....but the Picasso Sunflowers were off display!), the National Portrait Gallery (really - more photographs, please!), and just a bit of the British Museum before I felt like I was going to fall asleep against an obelisk. I took the tube a lot as I had a day pass, and am proud to report I didn't get lost once, and that some folkd even asked me for directions! Woot!
Today: More British Museum, Westminster, the Thames, Piccadilly and....
wait for it......
EQUUS!!! Woot! Very very exciting. 'Cause, you know. I love the theatre.....
