Trafalgar Square
My first real outing in London with my great roommates was to Trafalgar Square to visit the National Gallery. One word: Amazing.
Walking up to the gallery we passed people in suits, people doing bike tricks, a man coming out of a tent, on top of a column, who was painted green and was bum naked, a singer and a whole lot of arabs. Before we got to the gallery we already had a days worth of fun things happen. The tube was hilarious, the night before we had been taught that English people don't make eye contact (it's a way they get away from the claustrophobia of being in crowds all the time) and we purposely would make people look at us. Then we would all try to not make eye contact...very hard to do, either look up or down because everyone is facing each other in the seats.
The national gallery is pretty amazing, we saw the rosetta stone, an amazing part of history.
After the gallery we headed up parliament street, saw all of the parliament buildings and then walked past St. John's park to Buckingham palace. Throughout those few hours it probably rained at least 7 times for a 7 minute period each time, gorgeous skies.
Is this house in london?
