Friday:
Me, Nicole, and Katie went to this gigantic market in Camden. It was full of ethnic food stalls, hippie shops, vintage clothing stores, and the like. It was endless and there were other cools things, like a canal and a random high-end restaurant right in the middle with these ornate carved walls. Gareth met up with us towards the end of our trip to the market.
Later that day we went to see Leicester Squre, Picadilly Circus, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament. We walked forever, so we were exhausted by the time we got back.
Saturday, we had plans to go see a Midsummer Night's Dream at the Globe Theatre, but it was sold out. It was the first night of that play for this season and a Saturday to boot. I guess we should have seen it coming. Still, me, Matt, and Sean went to London Bridge, Tower Bridge, and walked past the Tower of London. We didn't go in because it cost a bunch of money and was mobbed with people. Another time. It's funny how everyone thought this bridge actually is London Bridge, when it's actually Tower Bridge. London Bridge is actually quite boring and the one that stands now was built in the 1970's. Weird.
Today, we went to the Science Museum and saw an IMAX movie about the Space Station in 3D. It was pretty nuts. The movie cost 7 pounds, but the museum was free, so it's all good. We looked through the museum too, but not extensively because it wasn't open very late. The big thing below is the huge steam engine they keep running in the entrance hall. After that, we came home and hung around here until me and Matt went to Abby Road and found the famous crosswalk and Abbey Road Studio. Awesome. Also, we didn't take the FAMOUS cliche photo for a couple reasons: There were only two of us, there was traffic, and there was also come confusion about which zebra crossing was the proper one. Oh well.
Well, it's my first real day of work tomorrow though, so goodnight

Mark, The original London Bridge is in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It was dismantled in the 60's, shipped to AZ and re-assembled. Random...

Love, Mom
Yes! I saw that. So weird.
There were rumours that the person who bought the bridge also mixed up the two bridges and thought they were buying the wrong bridge. Don't think it's true, but that would be a great story.
