London, Day 2 - "Yo Gordon, It's Your First Day."

Big day today, and all of the walking is starting to take its toll. Today we hung around Buckingham Palace and caught a glimpse of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown - definitely a day to be remembered in London. I didn't really see much, but I can at least say I was there if I ever come across someone who might be interested.


The National Gallery holds some of the most remarkable art in the world. England really shouldn't have most of it. Some of the paintings seemed to be living things. I took no pictures because there would be no way to do any of the art justice.

Left the portrait gallery for a bite - finally got some British food (I had an Irish stew with lamb). Delicious. Wandered around Piccadilly for a while until the rain drove us back into hiding at the college. My feet feel like bruised, throbbing marshmallows. Time to sleep.
