Today in London was a "low key" day... We only walked for five hours this time. Yikes!!
We started off at Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guards, which was really cool for the first fifteen minutes but after an hour we took off. Something that is neat to be able to see, but really not all that entertaining to warrant standing with a million other people watching not a whole lot of action for over an hour.
Next we went to Hyde park which is enormous!!! We visited Kinsington gardens and palace and spent the afternoon at Portabello market, which is a whole street of little shops and booths. Really fun!
On the way home we stopped and got a coffee, sat by the water on a bench and just people watched... Let me tell you, this is VERY entertaining here! And then while enjoying our peaceful sit Snopp Dogg started rapping and cussing. Interesting. I didn't know he still even did shows, but we soon realized why he doesn't... He only does the same songs he did in 1997 (brother you would have loved it!) which actually turned out to be pretty amusing for both of us :)
So far we have yet to meet any other Americans here and we kind of feel like there are no other ones, which is fine here because they speak English, but it makes me a little nervous about France! This city is still overwhelming and amazing and tomorrow will be even more adventure seeing as how today was our "low key" day here.
