London Day 12

So dinner with John's dad was great. We found a burger place...well Rick found it...but it was great. I had a cheeseburger and fries and coke in a glass bottle. It was awesome. There's another place called Hamburger Union that is suppose to be good so I am going to check that out as well. After we got Ice Cream in Leicester Square which is like the Broadway of London....most the theaters are there. It's very touristy...I think it's great. Right now there are huge posters for the Sweeney Todd movie. After I took a bus back....the buses here are pretty easy...I still prefer the Tube though.

Yesterday did count lol. I woke up late and vegged in bed all day. I did go to the grocery store and bought Cherry Coke and Ice. The Coke here just isn't the same....they must do something different to it. Oh right I cooked...Ravioli. Not too bad but I really should have taken up mom's offers to teach me how to cook awhile ago. Another American girl was in the kitchen and we vented about how the people have stolen our stuff. I streamed Brothers and Sisters, Grey's and Nip/Tuck....so it took about 8 hours to get through them. Good thing the writers are on strike.

Today was more interesting.

I was woken up at first at 10am by church bells (Westminster Cathedral is a stones throw away). I thought cool 10 chimes and then I can fall back asleep....nope...it was like 10mins worth....I gotta go figure out what that was about. So I fell back asleep until 1 and then woke up and did some sightseeing.

I took the Tube to Covent Garden which is kinda like Quincy Market in Boston....it even has a Build a Bear (I got Bacon a rugby shirt...it seemed only right). I looked in some stores, including the Disney Store, watched the street performers and had a Pasty which is like an awesome version of a Hot Pocket. It was amazing and relatively cheap...I see more of them in my future.
So then I just took off walking and ended up on the other side of the river where the Eye is and the National Theater. It was pretty awesome.....I can't wait to be able to post pictures. I need to look at my tour guide to see where I actually was.

So now is time for computer games and relaxing. I'm meeting up with Aaron to do some more seeing of the sights. I'll post on everything we see.
