Kat and I are drawing maniacal stuff where the last panel is always, "It happens to the best of us." We're weird.
We took the 9:41 train this morning. When we got to London we went to Buckingham Palace. It was nice although not as pretty as I thought it would be. It was huge though & the gate was...huge. We saw some guards change, although it wasn't the official changing of the guards cos that was CANCELLED. Ho hum.
We took a look outside Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. The Houses of Parliment were there too but I didn't really look at em. We could see the London Eye from there...it was really big and slow moving. You'd have no idea it was moving.
We decided to go back to the Brit museum and get a better look. Lots of...OLD STUFF! Score. We looked at Egyptian and Greek stuff, mainly. There was this random exhibit about buttons/badges with political messages.
Before going to the Brit Museumwe went into a great little comic book shop. It was kinda expensive but they had great stuff...like FILLER BUNNY! Truly awesome.
After the museum we went for a snack at a nearby pancake place. It was SO GOOOD! Not like American fluffy pancakes, but like crepes...thin and sometimes crispy and soft.
We went to Oxford Street after that so I could buy tacky stuff for me and my friends. YES. Oh, also near the Brit Museum there was a discount book store so I bought a Norwegian phrasebook. At Oxford Street I bought some keychains, a street sign, a t-shirt, a shot glass, and pins. WEE STUFF.
Then we wandered and ended up in the National Portrait Gallery. It was good and FREE!
We found Chinatown and now I'm burping Chinese food. MM. Nooodles. I bought some huge ass pastries for not much money. Sweet. They're so good mm CAKE! And I bought some for the Masons.
MORE WALKING and now we're coming home. We did much tubing today...took it four times on a day pass. WOO. It's fun and easy to use compared to NYC.
I FEEL FAAAT!
