Day 3

Well another day in London town is over. We are headed to bed early because we have to catch the train to Paris tomorrow.

Today was another day full of walking and taking in the sites. We first went to Trafalgar Square. It was really cool. I love the fountains here. The bummer though much like St. Paul's is that the main monument part was under construction. They are all getting ready for the peak tourist time I guess. After hanging out around there we went to the National Gallery. It was really cool. The paintings dated all the way back to the 1200s I think. Alot of them I remembered from my Art History day. One cool thing that we saw in there was the sunflowers painting by Van Gogh. This is one of Maya's favorites so she was really excited. Also we saw alot of school field trips in there. Can you imagine growing up in a place with this type of history at your fingertips. Very cool.

After the gallery we went to the Covent Garden. It is basically a little market place with shops and stuff. Very cool stuff. We then went into the Theatre Museum. It was cool but not much to it. So far the disappointment of the trip. I'm sad for Maya cause she was really looking forward to that.

Next we took the tube to Piccidali Circus. I hope I spelled that right. This is basically the Times Square of London. It was very cool with lots of traffic and people. Then we took the tube to Russell Square. From there we went to the British Museum. Holy crap was that big. We are defintely going back there. We showed up there late in the day around 4 and it closed at 5:30. But we did see alot of cool stuff.

From the museum we went to the University of London. We walked around there for a while. Just basically taking it all in. After walking around there we decided that we should relax a little bit before we head back to the flat. We stoped off at a pub called The Two Brewers. We got a seat and we weren't sure what to do. So after some discussion I went up to the bar and ordered two beers. Not knowing what to order I asked the bartender for some recommendation and she picked out some good stuff. We finished our beers and headed back to the flat.

We got back to the flat and Maya made some dinner. It was some pasta and a salad. It was very good. Well off to bed and then to Paris. Wish us luck. I won't be writing until Thursday.

Cheers.
