Last day in London.

Please return to:

London this time around has been much less touristy and yet just as fun as previous trips. I have been staying with friends in North London and haven't done one of the typical things to do in London until today. Last time I was here I made sure to go see Big Ben, take pictures in a phone booth, go to the Cathedrals and all of that. This time I have been grocery shopping, out dancing, meeting up for tea and coffee and shopping for supplies. And yet it has been plenty of fun on it's own. The first night I got here I went out with Louise and the housemates for her 20th birthday and had a surefire way to get home if anything were to happen ^. We went out to Roxy night club and took a London cab back. Not too many photos this time around but I did grab a few.

I was able to meet up with a friend from San Diego State on her last day in town. Marta was a transfer student who spent her year abroad in San Diego. She left for Poland the next day so I was very glad to have had the chance to catch up.

 Lastly, today I got cheap student tickets for 10 pounds to go see "Singin' in the Rain," one of my favorite musicals from when I was a child. The seats were so high up they felt like the original nosebleeds. It was very funny hearing these English actors American accents from the twenties. They almost put it on too much and the women all sounded very nasally. They even gave Lina Lamont a song which was particularly painful to listen to but it was quite a fun way to spend my last day in London. For now.
