LONDON BABY

Hi everyone,
Here I sit in an internet cafe on a rainy evening in London. What a place!!!! You should see it - things to look at everywhere, millions of people pushing around, bright lights, bad smells, dodgy hostels - it's great!!!!!! I'm here with my friend Miriam from Athabasca and we have been very busy the past couple days.
I left Leistershire on tuesday morning and arrived at Kings Cross (the station in Harry Potter) and got on the tube to go to Heathrow to meet miriam's plane from Calgary. We checked into our hostel which is a little on the questionable side, but it is cleanish and cheap which is what matters to us. From there we went to Covent gardens to watch street preformers and look in some posh shops, then to Trafalger Square, Westminster Abby, Big Ben and a couple other places near there. Today we have been busy seeing "Madam Troussauds Muesum of Wax figures" or something - it was wicked!!!!!!! You should see how real these wax people are, it's amazing. Tower of London was next including the Tower bridge. We got to see where the parts of the castle Edward the Longshanks (the bad king in Braveheart) designed and lived in. So much history, but too little patience to stand around and listen to it all, there is just too much to see! We went to Westminster abby again and actually got to go inside and go to evening prayers, it was beautiful. Then we went across the street and toured around the parliment buildings (miriam's choice) - saw the house of lords and house of commons - actually a kind of interesting day to be there because it is the day that Tony Blair the PM is resigning. Next we went on the London Eye - which is a huge ferris wheel with the people in glass capsules. Tomorrow we are going to science center (my choice), B-ham palace, and the Lion King show. Would write more but but my time on the internet is going to cut out soon. Hope you all are well and talk to you later!!
