Since I knew I was coming to London, I've had one phrase, "London, Baby!". It is all I said when people asked me where I was leaving to. Having gotten here, though, I have to admit, I have not partaken in that sentiment. I have been weary, and cold. Today, was different.
I was finally persuaded by some nice boys (who have my many thanks) to take a walk from my hostel after a hearty, Indian, home-cooked meal. We went via Waterloo, to Westminster Bridge, through Trafalgar Square, to Leicester Square, and back. And I saw some of the best of London, in the slight drizzle of the night, with the sounds of two saxaphone players, straining to get heard amidst the traffic, and chimes of Big Ben. I saw the National Gallery, and the Hard Rock Cafe, and the Comedy Store and Her Majesty's Theatre. It was my best time in London ever. And it was free, in the most expensive city in the world.
So, I can return to my previous enthusiasm, having seen some of the best the city has to offer. London, Baby!!
