Today was awesome! I started off by heading over to see St. James Palace - apparently that's where Wills and Harry stay when they're in town.


All the walking I've been doing lately was really making me tired so I decided to take my very first British taxi ride. Those suckers sure are roomy!



The biggest bummer of the day (maybe the trip) was the construction at Trafalgar Square around Nelson's Column. I didn't get to ride the lions, darn it! But there sure were a lot of pigeons. I did make a video while I was there, though, so I'll always have that for a memory.



On the way back to the hotel in Kensington I stopped off at Picadilly Circus to get my obligatory picture of the big signs. There was one fellow American lady there who I overheard say "I don't want all those signs in my picture!" I just about died! Apparently she didn't know those were what made it such a recognizable sight. Her daughter quickly informed her that she needs to watch "Bridget Jones's Diary" a few more times.
