London - Full of Pride
Today's most bizarre thing was trying to visit the famous toy store, Hamley's. Normally, visiting Hamley's wouldn't be an adventure - but when you suddenly realize that you're in middle of London's annual Gay Pride parade? It becomes an adventure.
To the nice man in the wedding dress that I had to cut in front of to get to the toy store? My apologies. Hope I didn't freak you out.
Of course, the parade went right by Piccadilly & Haymarket - where the police found those two car bombs this week. Everyone felt very safe, though - there were plenty of police officers about. Not including the gay police officers club that was marching in the parade.
Also today visited the British Library, had some great fish & chips while watching rugby in a pub, and had the best Indian food ever. And it just FEELS like London, with the intermittent gray drizzle going on and off all day.
But it's not all rosy in London.
Someone here in London must do something about these @#$#-ing walls that swallow up your luggage carts. Never ever trust a platform with fractions in it.
