London Report 3 – National Gallery & Harrods

Since my morning report, we've been all over town. Took the tube to Piccadilly Circus, and walked from there to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery. We got to see an amazing amount of paintings from the 12th through the 19th centuries, by artists such as Renoir, Manet, Michaelangelo, Van Eyck and Van Gogh. After that we walked through St James Park to Buckingham Palace, then through Green Park and down to Harrods. What a giant store that is! It's very easy to get lost in the place, and they do seem to sell pretty much everything (though I couldn't find a hat that said "Lion Tamer" on it, heh). After Harrods we walked down to Sloane Square to try and find a pub we went to in 2001 and couldn't (it seems to have closed, bummer) before taking the tube back to our hotel. Before going back we decided to take the tube to an area known as Blackfriars and found a great pub and had a snack and a pint before continuing on to our hotel to freshen up a bit. After a stop by our hotel, we walked to a great pub / restaurant called the Inn 1888, and had a nice meal. After that we walked to a pub we walked by on our way to Regents Park yesterday called The Volunteer. It was packed with college-aged kids, so we only had a pint and left. Afterwards we walked back to The Globe (our 'local') for another few pubs before the 11pm closing time. Fun and busy day.

Update on photos: still having troubles uploading, not sure if I'll be able to or not from here on out. Frustrated, but oh well.
