First Offical Day in London




Small victories make me really happy.
First Victory of the day was buying a soup and a piece of bread for 3 pounds and eating it for 3 meals! The second victory was aptly navigating the bus, train, and interwinding roads as i wandered throughout London.
I have also learned that it is probably a good thing that i am traveling alone because i know i would make others crazy. I meander through the streets as i try and find some building or monument that i saw down the street or across the river, and on my assumed path there i will wander at random up and down streets, allyways and hidden pathways that i find and look interesting. So it takes me a bit longer to find what i am looking for, but in the same time i tend to find something new and interesting to look at.
Today i found St. Pauls Cathedral, The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Trafalger Square, Big Ben and the Parliment building, and lots of quaint little parks to eat and rest in. I had no idea where i was going when i found any of these things. Just spied something interesting through the trees or around a building and thought i would check it out. It has been an awsome day, and althogh i am not sure if i am travelling the way one "should" or is supposed to, i am having way to much fun wandering around the city.
Tomorrow i think i have a game plan though. We'll see how it works out
