-went to the soane museum and the british museum. i hadn't been to the soane museum. it's his house as he wanted it, just full of tons of random stuff he amassed. pretty intriguing to walk through.
-visited the 'olympics related' sights at the british museum (along with assorted other things).
-got a ticket to see sweeney todd (kim performing in it) so i saw that in the evening. was a great show, and really nice to see something in the west end.

-went to the mall where the olympic stadium is. it was raining but we saw it from inside the shop out the window in the proper gray, london weather.

-went back to the hotel and helped the sheas get part way on their journey. traveled back on the underground to the hotel and hung out for a bit. unfortunately couldn't get things to match up with meeting any of the perez's so i sat outside the underground in canary wharf for awhile but then something was worked out. so i dropped my stuff at their flat and then met carlos.
-we had sushi and then went to the globe to see henry the v. it was a good show and really nice to hang out with carlos again.

25 june
-rode the underground with jonna to start my day (he headed to work and me to walk down the thames/southbank.
-had a lovely stroll. went in the tate modern. had a sandwich from pret. really enjoyed the walk as usual. part way, carlos managed to catch up with me. we walked across the bridge by big ben and up to the wetherspoons by trafalgar. so i could have a summer pimms (delicious). then we walked over to covent garden. i had snog (again delicious). and then we walked along to picadilly circus so i could see it without scaffolding. then as we walked, one of the new buses came by so we hopped on board so i could experience that and rode to victoria station. it was a great london day.
