London called...so I answered

I had a fabulous time in London! Though I don't have too many pictures of myself in comparison to the hundreds and hundreds that I took...

This is Paris Nord on a Friday evening after a HUGE storm ripped through the west and northwest the morning of,
delaying and canceling trains left and right...

London: home of the 2012 Olympics!

So, while in London, I......
...went to the Natural History museum...


...found Cara in the Natural History museum ;-)...

...saw a cool dinosaur in the Natural History museum (RAWR)...

...rode the Underground (a LOT)...

...saw beautiful sunsets...

...saw very interesting ads on the Underground...

...went shopping in Camden Town...

...did more shopping in Camden Town...

...saw the London Eye...

...saw Big Ben...

...popped out of telephone boxes (that reeked of piss)...

...visited Trafalgar Square...

...saw a giant Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square...

...touched Big Ben...

...touched a horse's ass apparently...

...went shopping at the Christmas Market...

...saw the city at night...

...saw Big Ben from the London Eye...

...actually rode the London Eye...

...ate some motherfreaking DELICIOUS Pinkberry pomegranate froyo
(with lots of toppings, obviously)...

...saw the American Embassy, which was an entire building itself...

...went in search of the Globe Theatre...

...found the Globe Theatre...

...took photographic evidence that Hugging Pig and Mootivational Cow
actually visited the Globe...

...went to the Science Museum...

...walked the same streets that Jack the Ripper did...

...took a Jack the Ripper walking tour...

...saw the church at Spitalfields on the Jack the Ripper tour...

...walked more of the same streets that Jack the Ripper did...

...went (back) to Trafalgar Square to take photographic evidence that
Hugging Pig and Mootivational Cow actually were there...

...visited the Museum of London...

...saw awesome Christmas lights on Oxford Street..

...went (back) to the Canadian Embassy and took a picture for
my awesome Canuck, DK...

...walked back to Oxford Street to see more Christmas lights...

...saw Christmas lights at Marks & Spencer...

...saw even more Christmas lights on the way back to the Underground stop...

...saw the Christmas lights at Debenhams, a huge department store...

...decided I didn't really like Christmas, despite the pretty lights...

...went back to Camden Town to the Stables Market...

...and last but certainly not least, found out that I would  not
receive Hugh Laurie if I purchased this product.
Damn, that's a disappointment. Hugh Laurie is hella-entertaining.

I actually did lots more than this in London, but I don't really feel like writing about it all...
