New place; new and strangely familiar

So yesterday we officially came to the second part of our journey.  We are in London.  It really doesn't feel too different.  It feels like NYC or DC, but with some really old architecture.  So we checked into the hotel that we reserved, only to find out, that even though it was advertised as a hotel, it's not.  Most definitely not.  It is a Hostel.  Which is fine, but did come at a bit of a shock, especially when we were looking for specific signs.  So anyways not too bad, except that the wi-fi there is charged by the hour.  So we couldn't update you all on yesterday's events until now.  Currently we are in the British library, but that's for the next blog post.  Yesterday, as soon as we checked into our "hotel," we set off for the British museum.  This place is bloody HUGE!  We managed to go through just about all of it and got some cool pics, a few of which I've included if your interested.



After the museum, we went Trafalgar square.  Me and Scott decided that Portland would do well to have there own Trafalgar Square.  Pioneer square is lame in comparison. 


So here's one of the best parts.  We ate dinner inside a crypt!  A literal Crypt!  This restaurant's claim to fame is that you get to eat on top of people's graves.  Tis quite awesome like that.  Food was alright, and the place was very crowded.  I will say though, there hot cocoa was very very flavorless.  But I guess you can't have it all.

Well, gotta go, cuz were out of time.  Need to go back to the room and prepare for going to Royal Albert Hall.

  2. No kidney pie, but we did have a meat pie in oxford. It was actually pretty good because it was a curry meat pie.
