Another day in London, and not much has changed. Chris and I spent most of the day walking around trying to see as much as possible. Legs and backs are sore but its going well for the most part. I am not looking forward to carrying the heavy backpacks tomorrow.
Abby Road- First stop was Abby Road. Chris and I went there early this morning. For some reason Chris is not the photo happy character and has decided not to be in any pictures so I got one of myself crossing it. Chris didn't even try to cross it! He saw it and just wanted to turn around...that's Chris for you.
Arsenal FC- Next stop was a great stadium for Futbol. Yes Gary, I went into enemy territory and I enjoyed it! I also got a scarf, from the team so now I have ManU and Arsenal...not bad.
Westminster Abbey- This took almost an hour to get into, but much worth the wait. We saw where Kings and Queens were buried along with Sir Issac Newton and the famous Darwin. The amount of time and money spent into it was incredible. So much gold etc.
Tate Modern- Great Museum, actually it was just ok. I think the only part Chris and I really enjoyed was the fact that it was free. It was a little too modern for my taste and didn't have too much too offer. Maybe I am just not artistic enough to appreciate it.
Shakesphere Globe theater- We stepped in and realized that it was going to be twenty pounds just to pop our heads in for a little bit so we decided not to go in....I think we just wanted to see it and thats about it
Harrods- One of the biggest department stores I have ever seen, one of the most expensive too. I was looking at scarves and bags, nothing was cheap. I mean, it was like £165 a pop....and it was on SALE! 40%.... too expensive for my taste.
At the moment, we are chilling at a web cafe typing on the blog. I think we are going to head to a bar next and have a "few" drinks...the only problem is that we have a 655am train ride to Paris and we have to hit the ground running.
By the way, I can't believe that we didn't make it into the playoffs with an 11-5 record....that is probably better than half the NFC teams and we don't get in...I can't be mad though, its out of our control for the most part...yes we could have won more games, but 11-5 is still good.
Cheers from England,
Matt

ReplyDeleteYeah, Chris, take some pictures!
ReplyDeleteSounds like an awesome time. How's the food? (Of course, only I would ask that question!)
Enjoying the blog. Mom
ReplyDeletePS My computer will only recognize me as Matt. I think you set this up on my computer.
It sounds like you are seeing a lot.....I especially enjoyed reading about Harrod's....you better buy me stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteglad you guys had fun. i have been to most of those places and they were all pretty cool. I didnt realize that the globe theater was so expensive. It was in my orientation package. It was pretty cool but for 20 pounds you could find something else to do. Hope Paris treats you well.
