TootBus!

It was a hot day and we walked a lot. Saw all the major sites. Big Ben, London Bridge, London Eye, London Tower, Buckingham Palace (which was all closed off because of the Queens Jubilee)

Saw Westminster Abby, Scotland Yard and rode around in a double-decker Tootbus. 

As we were walking across the tower bridge, we glanced over and in the midst of modern skyscrapers and digital billboards sits a huge CASTLE. 

So I says to Jared, “look at that building, that looks butt old. Look it up.” I says. He looks it up. Turns out it’s just your run-of-the-mill dungeon built in 1078. I’ll do the math, that’s over 900 years old! Us New Worlders are like ‘woah!’ So I get to thinkin, I bet where I’m standing, 600 years ago, there was probably some pied piper with his terrible haircut and dumb outfit prancing around with his flute, luring children to that freaky dungeon so they can laugh at the criminals stuck in those pillories, just some typical 15th century amusement. 

We grabbed a beer on a Tanqueray boat.
