london recently

since my last post, i have wandered the streets of london with nikki and anna and successfully seen much of the city. i saw big ben, the london eye, where the harry potter cast and crew taped shots inside gringotts bank, buckingham palace, one of the oldest pubs in london which was frequented by great authors such as dickens, tennyson and twain, covent gardens, trafalgar square, 10 downing street, st pauls, millennium bridge (also appeared in the harry potter movies), and westminster abbey. speaking of westminster... i attended the evening service there. no big deal. its only the location of the quickly approaching nuptials of kate and prince william! so i walked down the aisle that kate will walk down! it was exciting. another cool experience we had was walking towards the westminster bridge and seeing countless policemen lined up across the bridge with three helicopters hovering above. we talked to one of the cops and he asked if we were with the protest (we werent) so he suggested that we walk to the next bridge over to cross. we saw the hoards of people protesting against the government cutting the funding for services and the hundreds of police cars and policemen. it was crazyyyyy! its a beautiful day outside today so anna and i are going to abbey road and tonight, i am planning on going to les miserables!
