Awesome Day in London

This morning we slept in. Woot! That won't happen very often. After sleeping in, we thought about going on the London Eye, but the queue was ridiculous so we decided on going one of the other 50 or so days left here. So we walked along the South Bank, enjoying the sites. There were all sorts of "performers" - from a Johnny Depp impersonator, to people painted gray and standing still to look like statues, to people playing music or doing tricks. It was pretty sweet. There was also extreme biking finals or something like that. Lots of cool ramps and bike tricks and stuff. Some of us actually stopped and watched.

A bunch of us went to a place recommended by our Walking Tour guide from yesterday to get Fish and Chips. We then sat on the side of the street and enjoyed them. It was amazing. Truly amazing. They were fresh fish (as in caught this morning) covered in batter and thrown in the frier when we ordered them. I got a coke in a glass bottle (with a top you have to wrench off with a bottle opener) which for some reason always tastes better than coke you twist off or comes in a plastic bottle. They put salt and vinegar on the fish and chips, and gave us wooden forks and knives to eat them with. The only thing missing was being wrapped in the Times.

We then went into the Southwark Cathedral. It was pretty sweet. There were a lot of cool statues, archetecture, and memorials. The man who founded the New Globe Theatre, Sam Wanamaker, had a memorial erected there and Shakespeare's brother is buried there.

Then Kurt, Jared, and I just walked around, going back to some of the sites we visited yesterday and taking pictures. We got Ice Cream- though it wasn't ice cream. It was Italian. I'll post tomorrow with what it is, as I took a picture of it and my camera's upstairs. After randomly wandering around, checking out various sites, checking on the BMX, and visiting a couple theatres to pick up brochures, we came back to campus and it's just been a relaxing evening.

Pictures tomorrow.
