Drew and I made it to London. After getting to our crap hotel we decided to be tourists. It was rad. London is impressive, so is how expensive it is. Everything is priced like the US but, 2$= 1pound. Its twice as expensive for everything and anything,We got off the tube at Trafalgar Square, there was a Hindu festival going on. It was cool. We decided to walk towards the Thames river and check out some sites down that way.
Big Ben and Parliment are on the Thames. I love how cites like London and Prague have the old mixed in the with the new.
We walked to the other side of the river. It was freezing. windy, and time for a London beer.
This is the London Eye its called. Its a huge money extractor from tourists. Luckily Drew and I excaped with getting any money extracted from out wallets. This is probably my favorite photo from the entire trip.
From where the Eye is you have a really good view of Parliment. Its pretty photogenic, its had alot of practice.
We made it to Big Ben. I was kind of sick of taking photos of it so i turned the camera the other way.
Lastly, we went to Picadilly Circus...its a super annoying, very American shopping district. This area of town was a mirror image of any US city. Well, except Salt Lake.
