Around London

Here are some sights and moments from wandering around London with Russel and Joanna:

The 'Auto Adjust' function of my phone makes me an ideal candidate for Instagram.

People loose there minds to stand at this corner and take a picture with a red phone booth and Big Ben.  I was only dedicated enough to throw a bus in there.

We visited Trafalgar Square at one point.  I was happy to visit because I used to be a huge fan of Viscount Horatio Nelson (8th grade) and had read about the monument in his biography for a report.  Nelson was a great naval leader during the Napoleonic wars; he defeated the French navy and also died during the battle of Trafalgar

They were using trained birds of prey at the square, I am assuming for pigeon control.

The giant rooster was actually very cool.  I thought it made more of a statement than its counterpart, which was a rearing horse of similar size.

Best street performer ever.  This guy changed the definition of juggling with some of his soccer tricks.  Also, every thing he did was coordinated to techno music.

We took a coffee break in the London Opera house.
