The Big L dot.


On saturday I had the priviledge of spending another day in London. For the first time I had an opportunity to just wander around and take in some of the sights at a slow pace on my own. I wandered rather aimlessly through the streets of London going in whichever direction looked most interesting. At first I was cruising around with my headphones on until I realized I wasmissing a lot of the London experience, that is listening. So off went the iPod and i just took it all in. Listening, looking, smelling breathing all the different accents and incredible history around me. Around 5pm I found myself at Leicester Square, which is sort of in the centre of London's entertainment district. I sat at an empty table outside a little restaurant on the corner and too out my little bagged lunch. Which was quite tasty, by the way. It was a chicken nugget/turkey/ham sandwhich. While sitting at this corner eating my lunch watching everyone rush by i became quite reflective. I took it all in and really thought about where I was. I was sitting, by myself, in London, learning soooo much. And this is only the start of my adventures I think. I sat at this corner for a good hour just watching people and being quite content by myself. I attempted to capture the moment in the above photograph. It shows Leciester square (which is really just an intersection) and a portion of the table that I was sitting at. This was my view as I sat and reflected. Ok... enough of that. Lets move on to more pictures. Posted by Hello
