I GOT TO FEED THE BIRDS! 3/15/2006 11:40:00 AM

Okay, so Tuesday Reid and I did a walking tour of London and got to see Shakespeares Globe, and walk over Blackfriars Bridge and see a bunch of stuff on the Southbank which was pretty cool. The guide had lots of good information and fun little stories, so I'd rate it a good walking tour. We also had some non-apple pie apple pie in a pub we stopped in to warm up a bit. Even though it wasn't apple pie it was pretty good.

Then yesterday we went and got our tickets for the Big Bus tour, and rode on top of the double decker for a bit, and got off at the National Gallery stop. This is where we ended up spending most of the day, haha. Of course we got to go inside and visit with Leonardo DaVinci, VanGogh, Monet, and Rembrandt, but first outside in Trafalgar Square there were a ton of pigeons walking around, and so we were kinda meandering over to them, and this guy comes and puts a peanut in Reid's hand and they're all over him, it was crazy, but also really fun and hilarious.

So then he gave me some bird seed, and we see this lady come up, and just walk right into the middle of all the birds and sit down, and they all instantly flocked to her. THAT'S RIGHT! THERE IS A REAL BIRD LADY!! It was sooo cool. Apparently she comes every day, and the birds seem to recognize her, even before she gets out the food. There were also these two little boys that were running around kicking the birds, which was mean, especially since I had just befriended the fair pigeons (they're not so dirty up close, really) and I took some video of that, haha.

Then we went to visit St. Paul's cathedral, which was amazingly gorgeous, and went to visit the Tate Modern Gallery, although we got there after it was already closing all the exhibits, so we just took more pictures of St. Pauls over the Millenium Bridge, and then on the way home, we stopped at King's Cross which is where they film the train station for Harry Potter, and went and found Platform 9 and 3/4 (which doesn't exist, except for in the book) and there's a little trolly cart stuck halfway in the wall, as if someone were passing through, so that's pretty cool. Of course, Reid and I are dorks and had to take pictures of that.

To end the day we came back to Regent's and watched Grey's Anatomy with Mita the crazy RA, who loves Reid and wants to give him her lotion for his sunburnt face, haha. All in all it was a pretty good day.

Pictures To Come!
