I am currently procrastinating... a bit. We went to Westminister Abbey today.
I saw the tomb of Queen Elizabeth 1 which is very cool.
I asked one of the guides stationed throughout the Abby where Anne Boleyn was buried. He looked at me like I was a loon and replied that she was where her head had been cut off: The Tower of London. I asked why they hadn't moved her since she had produced the best, kick-ass queen as her off-spring. Instead of muttering "stupid American" under his breath, he giggled. My jokes work around the world! A great triumph.
I took a couple of pictures of me with Big Ben, but they are neither attractive or flattering, so we will save those for another time, say when I want to mortify myself.
But outside of Parliment there were peace protestors.
See pictures. They avoided us like the plague, but it was nice
to see some fellow angry liberals, reminds me of my dad. JK-kinda.
I also took a sweet picture of a statue in the square across from the Abbey and Parliment... pretty cool.
The last picture to post is this sweet sculture outside of the National Theatre. We went to see The Waves tonight, which was based off a Virginia Wolff novel.... it was artsy, and if I would have understood more of what the accents were saying and was
n't so distracted by the artsy-ness I would have probably enjoyed it more.
