I got lost twice while I was in London, both times involving Victoria Station. I was trying to get from there to Buckingham Palace but realized I was going the wrong way when I came upon Westminster Abbey.




I felt a little weird taking a picture of a garbage bin, but not as weird as I did carrying garbage around with me all day because there are no public garbage bins in London. Sadly, it's because of bombs. That feels kind of weird too.




Must... try... to... smile. Ye olde Buckingham Palace barely elicits a smirk. I showed this picture to my friend Stephanie, formerly a Globe co-worker, and she gave me grief for not trying hard enough. This was to have disastrous consequences later in the trip...




Hey, I know those flags. Canada House overlooks Trafalgar Square which was, sadly, under construction and not feeling like having its picture taken that day. (It also wasn't up to having a few thousand people over for New Year's Eve, either. Good thing the Queen offered her garden for another Golden Jubilee concert.)
