What, will you walk with me about the town, and then go to my inn and dine with me?

Okay, so we didn't go to an inn to dine, but we did walk around the town!  Yeah, we're on to Saturday now, and I'm actually posting about the current day, which is kind of exciting.

So Saturday once again started out slow.  I did laundry and homework for the majority of the day, but my Utopia paper is pretty awesome.  I just need to do another run through/edit of it, but I think it turned out really well.  I actually could have written a paper twice the length of the one that I did, but two pages is the page requirement.  And that's actually taking into account the longer page lengths that they have in Britain.  Have I mentioned that yet?  The paper's a different width and length.  It's a little strange to be quite honest.

Yeah, so boring stuff.  But Lorraine and I went to Pret a Manger for lunch and I got a wrap that had avocados, which I totally miss all the time now that I'm not adding Creamery guacamole to my lunch all the time for twenty cents, so that made it especially delicious.  And I bought an apple, which was also really good.

But anyway, around three o'clock a few of us decided to go on the Soho to Trafalgar Square walk.  It was actually a really fun walk, mostly because we didn't really get lost along the way, and we made sure to read all of the really interesting tidbits about the places we passed.  Most of the other walks I've done that on it seems like it was just a bunch of churches, but this time it was people's houses.  There's always these little plaques on the house that say the person's name, when they lived in that house, and then what they're famous for.  For example, there was this gardener/landscaper that's apparently famous.  We had fun laughing at that for a while because he invented the ha-ha fence.  But the best was this sign.

We were wondering what they're going to do in the year 2189.  

We saw a bunch of cool stuff, but there were two main things for me.  One of which was Charing Cross Road, which has a whole bunch of bookstores on it and is also the location of the Leaky Caludron.  (That's the address given in the books, although it doesn't precisely say where it is).  Having seen a bunch of pubs all over the place nearby I can much more easily picture the Leaky Cauldron being on that street.  The other cool thing was Pollock's Toy Museum which is either the last or one of the last toy shops in England where all the toys were made by hand.  They've turned it into a shop/museum now, which was really neat, although we didn't go into the museum at that point because it costs five pounds and we didn't really have time for that.  But here's a picture!

See what a cool looking shop it is?

Anyway, at the end of the walk we bought these massive slices of pizza that were really delicious and then we got gelato, which was also delicious.  And I was the obnoxious customer who asked if I could split a scoop in half and get two flavors in a single scoop.  And they let me!  So I didn't have to pay extra to get the two flavors.  The idea didn't even occur to all of my friends, but then they didn't hear that question time and time again at the Creamery.

And that was today!  I've decided that these walks can be pretty fun if you do them when you've got lots of leisure time and actually pop into places along the way.
