It's hard to find a bit of spare time to get all the pictures uploaded and come type a little ditty encompassing the day's (or past two) adventures, because this week is going by tremendously fast. But I want to make sure that I get stuff out as soon as possible before I forget all about it.

So, the photobucket has been updated with pictures of the Walking Tour, St. Paul's, Platform 9 and 3/4, as well as pictures from today's adventures:

This morning we went to Buckinham Palace and got to see the changing of the guards. It was actually quite a little ceremony. They had a group of soldiers come marching in, and then a band came down the street playing and marched into the palace gates, and interestingly enough (or freakishly enough) the music they played during the actual changing of the guards, was none other than...wait for it...wait for it....WEST SIDE STORY!!

Hahaha, this was the best thing ever! Especially since, had Maggie been here it would have been complete (Maggie, Reid, and I got to see West Side Story on our last fun filled free stuff adventure when they came to see me in St. Louis this past summer). It was awesome. At first I thought I was going crazy, thinking I heard the music for "Tonight, Tonight" but then I definitely heard the song about the Jets, so I told Reid, but I'm not sure he believed me untill he recognized the beat to "America" which is the exact song that was playing when the guards officially switched. I mean, obviosly the title is a little odd, but seriously, when you think about the song it only make it more awkward:

I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Ev'rything free in America
For a small fee in America!


Even crazier (depending on your scale, I seriously loved the West Side Story--Story) was that apparently it IS a small world after all. When I picked Reid up from the airport he was telling me about this girl he sat next to who was also going abroad to visit a friend, and we actually ran into her at Buckingham palace. How insane is that? It was pretty cool actually, and made for an interesting opener for the remainder of the night's surprises (hang on, I had a freak coinkidink myself).

After the palace we saw a few cool places like the American Embassy and then took the Beatles Walking Tour through SOHO, and then swung by Leiscester Square and caught a bit of the red carpet action for the premiere of Basic Instinct 2 (we left before Sharon Stone showed up though).

Then we caught a free comdey show in the upstairs of the Red Lion (a what seems like a Chinese Restaurant--especially in Soho--but is infact a regular english pub, with football, aka soccer, on tv inside).
