My first day in swinging London baby, yeh!,

Busy day today.  I got up and  had breakfast in the dining commons.  Passed on the beans.  I did have some oddly cooked fried eggs, super hard, and some bangers.  No mash.  I also had some kind of pasta that I felt go straight to me bum.

Their coffee machine was great, had a mocha and a doppio cappuccino.  Sam would approve.

From there I headed out to adventure.

Walked towards Trafalgar Square and spotted a short line selling discount show tickets to see Daniel Radcliffe in "The Cripple of Inishmann" at 2:30 later in the day.

Once I found the square, I noticed barricades and a lot of security, so naturally I inquired.  There was a military parade for the queens jubilee celebration.

Trouping The Colour : The Queen's Birthday Parade

It's pretty hard to tell from the photo, but there she is in the carriage, blue dress.  If I knew how to add video to my blog it would be must more exciting.  Nonetheless, there she was.  What luck.

From there I packed it up to find some lunch before the show.

I found a pretty paleo lunch.  Spud.eat me

Pretty interesting with the pickles.  Super tasty sweet potato though.

The show was wonderful.  Mr. Potter is a skinny little pip squeak.  His costar stole the show.  A foul mouthed red headed Irish girl, she was hilarious.

More general wandering and dinner at the dorm concluded my evening.  Tomorrow.  Buckingham Palace I think.  Perhaps the Tower of London or a river walk.
