The city of London

Yesterday we caught the tube into London and I couldnt believe how amazing all the buildings were. We went to Westminster and saw the HP and Big Ben, then we walked along the Thames and saw the London Eye and all the other buildings. We went to the modern TATE and saw Picassos, Mattisses and Warhols (yes thats geeky but i liked art in school and was cool to see so many originals of works i have studied). We then went along the Thames to St. Pauls. This cathedral was the most amazing building ive ever seen, it was huge, it sounds psycho but being inside i couldnt help but feel very religious, got some good pics outside but couldnt take inside. The main streets have so many old buildings and typical london things- dd buses, funny policemen and little black taxis, etc. We were so unco with the tube (which was gross and claustrophobic) so we gonna get so lost in non-English countries! The £ is about triple the $ so we paid $12 for 2 soft serves! Today we gonna go to Windsor to see the castle and a travel agent to book our Eurail so we can start seeing rest of Europe next week. Being Thursday, tonight we can finally go hit the town so i can experience the fun nightlife of London!
