Great day, love this place!

Got a house today! We'll be just outside London, close to work and close to the city, very excited.

I went to the British Museum tonight. Fascinating place. So many items from thousands and thousands of years ago. I especially enjoyed the Tennyson quote right as you walk in "and let thy feet, millenniums hence, be set in midst of knowledge". Can always count on Tennyson for km quotes :) 

British Museum

I especially enjoyed the Enlightenment area. All the talk and artifacts of how we began to look at the world differently during that period. I hope there's a museum dedicated to the knowledge age some day :)

It was still early, so it struck me that I hadn't been to Abbey Rd yet, and I do love the Beatles, so I looked it up and it was quite close. Got there and felt cool to walk back and forth, back and forth, right where the boys did. Yup, I was that guy and there were only about 10 of us there doing the same thing.

From there it's a short walk to the Lords Cricket Grounds and Regents Park, so I did both of those as well. Well, the cricket grounds were closed and a guy told me it's an expensive long tour, so I just peeked through the gate.

Abbey Rd

Regents Park was fantastic. Paddle boats for little and big kids, playground, and a walk along the water. Truly reminded me of the duck pond at Virginia Tech, but even larger scale.

Referring back to "out of the norm", the tube broke down on my way home. I had been warned it happens a lot. I ride almost every day and it's only the second time I've experienced it. 

I got out and walked the 30 minutes to Waterloo and I'm glad I did. I saw an amazing beatboxer at Piccadilly and I watched them build a stage at Trafalgar square. I saw a sign that said something about OpenAir concert, LSO. I'll be sure to google it and see what I can find.

Regents Park

Such a great city to just walk around, meet people, eat, browse, study and learn.
