A day spent in London. I have 2 pieces of advice from learning the hard way. First, if you actually want to do anything in London, take out some sort of mortgage before you go so you have the available funds. Second, if you happen to show up during Wimbledon it's best if you have a reservation for a place to stay already.

As I was in Trafalgar Square, the Jesus Army showed up after some sort of parade. There was even some guy doing the feet washing thing. I don't know if he was super religious or just had a fetish. The gathering did nothing to encourage my belief in god, but it did confirm my belief that christian rock sucks.

Finally my navigational ineptitude worked in my favour. In looking for what eventually turned out to be an obvious landmark, I passed the same girl 3 times going in various directions (me, not her...she seemed to be taking a more reasonable single direction path). The fourth time around, she took pity and explained where there was a tourist bureau that had maps. I was too sheepish to explain that I had a few maps already, and that I was just an idiot. After finally finding my landmark, I ran into her once again and we ended sightseeing together for the rest of the afternoon. I let her navigate.
