London-Town, and more.
Greetings from
Detroit!My time in the UK is over now.
I'm back in the U.S., and on my way home... for now.
I've been staying in London for the
last few days, and it was amazing! I had a great hostel room near Kings Cross
train station, which is close to just about everything, trainwise. It's not far
from Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, and Knightsbridge.
My first full day in London, I left.
I managed to get a seat on a tour that went to Stonehenge, Bath, Norton St. Philip and Stratford-on-Avon. (links
lead to my photo albums) It was a blast, and I ended up fairly exhausted by the
end of the day.I guess it was the next
day that I went to Harrods of London, which is a giant department store (that
you've probably heard of). I've never seen anything like this place. 5 floors
of sheer commercialism, with restaurants on each level, and even a grocery store
inside. I escaped after about an hour, pushing my way through a crowd of "fur
is murder" protesters. Man, those people are annoying.
That night, I went to see Avenue
Q, which was one of the highlights of my trip. Like most people, I
don't make it to the theater very often, so this was a very rare treat. You've
probably seen or heard some of the songs, to include The Internet
is for Porn, which has become extremely popular on the Internet.
My last full day in London, I did a
little sightseeing. I'll soon have photos up from my boatride on the Thames,
and from the Tower of London. In the meantime, I have to get ready for another
flight, this time from Detroit to
Memphis.Ya'll take care, for now.
