Pickpockets. Day 6

Oy vey....I need to chill out on the coffee and get to bed earlier. Today was completely amazing, as usual. It started off with an up close and personal view of the Buckingham Palace....my mind is blown. It is an absolute genious and aesthetic work of archetecture, clearly. Then we headed on out to Parliament...no big deal. To be completely honest I was not THAT thrilled, because I associate it with politics obviously....and didnt pause to consider that this was the oldest medieval building in all of England. We visited The House of Lords, The House of Commons, the Robing Room, the Tudor Room, and the Processional hall. Im consistently amazed by the ever present and rich culture and history that there is to soak up! Seriously, one could spend years upon years over here and never completely see all there is to see in London alone! Goodness, I love it over here! Speaking of my vast love for the Motherland...this ties into my title of this blog. Ive seen tourists wearing these "I <3 London" sweatshirts and I was set on getting one, as were my friends. So, on the way to the National Portrait Gallery we saw a shop chock full of said sweatshirts. Naturally we stopped and with 19 teens in a store, you know its going to take awhile. While waiting outside one of the clerks came out and asked if ayone had lost a camera. Upon searching my bag I realized it was me. I had my name labeled on it, so they asked me my name, and sure enough...it was mine. Curiously enough, I had never opened the pocket that my camera was in, because my money was in another pocket. Mr. Worthington was almost certain I had been pickpocketed. Freaky right? I agree. Anywho, Trafalgar Square was amazing and we got to see West End Musicals in the form of a free concert. West End was doing a musical exhibition to promote this years musicals, and their marketig scheme certainly worked, because I wanted to see all of them! Then, we also passed a protest concerning "the USA and their apalling extradition policies". It was quite frightening as well. Once again , the National Portrait Gallery would take years to completely absorb its epicness. However, we did get to see a special "Jubilee" exhibit that presented a visual timeline of the Queen, which was quite lovely. I have come to realize that I enjoy Portraits of the Tudors, Stuarts, and the Victorian era more so than modern art because I can absorb more history and I feel as if I can take away more than say my interpretations of modern art. Not to say that I dont appreciate modern art, I just feel as if I dont enjoy it. Well, tomorrow were off to Hampton Court, and the National Ballet! Cheerio old chaps!
PS: I GOT A WHOLE BOOK ON COCKNEY RHYMING SLANG!
