Trip through London

Rather than call mom on mother's day, I decided to hit the town and
see the sights. Chris and I started out seeing some crazy
archetecture, visiting the British Library. Afterwards, we headed to
see St. Paul's Cathedral. I chose not to go inside, due to the intense
hate that I have for the heads of the catholic church. After seeing
that, Chris and I decided to hit the tower of London and see the
bridges. I'm very surprised at the prices for food near the Thames
River. The prices are often cheaper than outside the tourist area. I
guess the currency exchange has screwed everyone over enough.

Following that, we bought some tickets to "The Tempest", and went to
see Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, which is closed on Sunday.
Buckingham palace was nice. Chris didn't understand why he wasn't
allowed in the palace. I ended up going back to Buckingham palace
today, while waiting for a job interview closeby, and saw the changing
of the guard by chance. It was neat, but I had a crappy view (I didn't
even know it was happening until it actually happened. I was just
there because the area surrounding the palace is peaceful and would
let me relax before my interview). Only got a couple pictures of some
mounted police.

All in all, the day was eventful. It's the last time I'll see Chris
for a while, if ever, since he now has a job as an au pair (live in
nanny) for a wealthy family farther from the city centre.

Anyways, I've gotta head out. Must find a job soon or I'll die of
disappointment.
