See the Gherkin?
After rolling in at 4am I was proud that we were able to get up and walk all over London today. Skipped the proper english breakfast and started the day with a delicious chicken and vegetable pasty from the West Cornwall Pasty Co. From Covent Garden we walked to Buckingham palace to wave at the Queen, then we got on the Underground (my favorite) and went the London Bridge stop to go on a "London Dungeons" tour. It was basically a historical haunted house, but they kept picking our friend Sam for torture demonstrations so I laughed more than I screamed. This was our view from the bank of the Thames. Its London's financial district and the futuristic building in the skyline is known as the "Gherkin" which is apparently what they call pickles!
