I'm really loving London as a tourist. I'm staying at a hostel near King's Cross, so it's easy to get around on the tube. I've already done the British Library, Kensington Gardens, Regent's Park, Abbey Road, Buckingham Palace, and a few other high-profile sites. I have only one more full day here, so I'm gonna make tomorrow count.

I'd forgotten how much I like real cities. Los Angeles's urban sprawl is indeed endearing, but after living there all my life I'm only now starting to realize it's not much of a city. This is the first time I've traveled alone in a place like this, and again, I'm truly loving it.

Though I will say, getting around if you're not on the tube is a hassle if you're not paying attention. Street names change all the time around here! Would it be too much to ask if we could make up our minds, hmmmm?
