On the British news today I saw a short clip about the arraignment of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, but when I went through security at Logan this week is was fairly similar to my past experiences. Everything during my trip went very smoothly, actually, until a New Yorker at King's Cross convinced me that it was a short walk to Wren Street.
With settling in, I haven't really had too much time to go exploring but I think that I will make it a priority to go down to South Bank for a peek at some of the iconic landmarks, ahem TATE. In a way I'm glad that the Tube is inconceivably expensive because by the end of my stay I suspect I will know the city quite well just from walking.
I did however manage a quick visit to the British Museum with a Wellesley friend, where I caught a glimpse of a certain rock.
It IS a short walk to Wren Street from King's Cross. In a few weeks time, you will think so too.
ReplyDeleteI quite agree; in this case it was purely circumstantial as I was accompanied by two kicking, screaming suitcases - mad at me for attempting to fill them to within a gram of their weight limit.
ReplyDeleteEven men in the US Navy Seals would have struggled with the weight you had to push/pull.
ReplyDeleteYou made it WOMAN. Kicked butt !!!!
Glad you made it safely and also that you went to British Museum - I so enjoyed it and if I lived that close to it, I would visit every week! I know one of the guides that does the "bible tours". Don't you love the old buildings. Enjoy the Indian food take away. Look for the Boots stores (better then our cvs)Study hard and have fun too! Nana says hello and stay safe. Auntie Donna
