Despite being dreary and chilly, London has thus far been really fun. It's also been exhausting. Yesterday alone we went to Big Ben, Parliament, Westminster (sat through an Evensong), Buckingham Palace, Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, and the British Museum. At Parliament, we went inside what was seriously the coolest building ever. I got to see where Sir Thomas More was condemned and we sat in on a session of Parliament. The way it goes in the House of Commons is absolutely hilarious. The US Congress really needs to reconsider how they do business. The Secretary of State actually called another guy's speech a "tirade of rubbish" and apologized to the chamber for having been subjected to it. Good stuff.
Also, at Buckingham Palace, there are little sectioned off areas of garden that you can't walk on. However, the partition is really low so as I stepped backwards trying to take a picture of Ellen, I fell backwards into the off-limits garden. I have officially made my mark on London.
More to come but we just realized our train leaves 40 minutes earlier than we initially thought! Oops!
