Day #2 in London was jam-packed with activities. I saw Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral (the 2nd biggest Catholic Church in the world...and coincidentally, the cathedral in Sevilla is the 3rd biggest), Big Ben, Shakespeare's Globe Theater, London Bridge, the London Eye, Downing Street...you name it, I saw it. We also went to a live performance of "Chicago" in the West End, which was really fun. I learned that London is quite expensive, that I don't like pickled eggs (a British delicacy), that before crossing the street, you have to look right first, instead of left (a handy tip that they have cleverly painted on the ground at most crosswalks, for the benefit of the rest of the world who drive on the other side of the road), and also to "mind the gap" on the Tube. And I do have to admit, that it was nice to speak English guilt-free for a weekend, and to be surrounded by people who also speak English...just don't tell any of my Spanish friends I said so! :-)
