ON OUR WAY TO THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF LONDON!







The gallery was very cool and the rooms were GORGEOUS, but we weren't allowed to take photos unfortunately.







Hair = hot fucking mess but whatevs.



I cropped myself out of this one, only my mom looks foine as hale.











Olympics coverage in Trafalgar Square!







Ooer.







TBH I forgot the exact name of this area (did it have the word Garden in it?) but I waited here to meet up with ratherlemony! For some fucking reason I didn't get a photo of her. I guess I was too excited or something like that, haha. But she was awesome and had awesome hair and was luuurvely. My mom liked her too XP



PEEEOPLE! We really mostly went walking around while my mom drank some coffee. There were a lot of cool shops and eating places.





LOFUCKINGL WHAT IS IT WITH LONDON AND FRIED FUCKING CHICKEN? I WAS SERIOUSLY DYING WHEN I SAW THIS.



I think this was a cupcake place. I remember some girl like...gave us the rest of her cupcake? IDK.







Me looking awkward as hale by this telephone booth.



Mom outside of the coffee place. IIRC it was actually a little Italian restaurant with good lattes or something.



Again, ooer.





Back at the hotel...camera whoring...



:D The awesome zipper bracelet and the yellow sweater were both purchases I made while shopping with ratherlemony





Asking the concierge about a good place to eat.





I'm great with maps but we def got lost later that night on our journey for food.





IDK wtf we did before that because I remember it was late by the time we found somewhere to eat and all the stores were closed. Either way, we found a good Italian restaurant so yay!





I love the London Underground...a lot...for real.



That's nice to know.



Never ended up seeing that movie but I guess I should find it on Youtube eventually. I love the director but there were so many WTFS about the casting and I suddenly felt like a big fat purist. I sorta know how some long time HP fans feel when they're all butthurt about stupid shit like Emma Watson's hair and junk, because I started reading the Georgia Nicolson Series in like...2000. So yes, I had very particular images of the characters in my head...and Jas to me is a brunette :\ I think she was blonde in the movie. Anyway, this was advertised somewhere in the underground and I wanted to take a photo of it regardless. It IS a pretty poster and I like that Georgia's olive costume is on it.



Er mean streets of London? Actually, I was surprised by how loud it was outside even at like 2 am :\





LOLZ THIS DUDE FROM BIG BROTHER UK! That show was so crazy. I still don't understand why it was airing when they were sleeping! It was on all night! WTF?



IIIIIIIIICE ICE BABY.



Blurry as all hell, my bad.



Harry Potter doll that my friend and I dressed up in drag for a good 2-3 years. He came along because he needed to see his motherland or something. Some of you may remember me talking about him way back in the day~ He had a hit music video. (I did the bubbles)







Lolz idek.

THE NEXT DAY/LAST DAY! OMG OMG OMG!



PLATFORM 9 3/4, MOTHER FUCKERS!







I'M A WITCH. BE JEALOUS.









I really love this photo of my mom in the tube.



We took another gander at Big Ben before going on the London Eye. We pretty much went RIGHT when it opened for the day.





AND WE'RE OFF!



















Lolz the Thames is so grody but I can't talk, the LA River is an embarrassment to all rivers EVERYWHERE.











Folks in the pod below us XD















I wonder what is in this building...







Big city is big.



Fuzzy wuzzy.







I look a bit deranged but no matter...































And then we were out.



IDK some ginger dude.





We went to the gift shop. I got a really cute London Eye Teddy Bear :3 I collect Teddy Bears from various locations sometimes.







...I feel like I was trying to get a subtle picture of this dude's face but it...didn't work out that way. Hmm.

















Why is the currency in all other countries so much more interesting looking than ours? Australia's is the best, very colorful. Regardless, this gave me lulz. She is on everything.









I wonder what stop this was...





















London condoms. Nuff said.



Lolz anybody knkow what became of this?





Just lulz.



And now random ass photos of the hotel...











We stole a ton of tea. I still have some of it actually.



















Peace out, man.





You too, ballin door man with a fucking top hat!



Blah blah blah blah blah hotel lobby pics blah blah blah.

















The street our hotel was on.







Our shuttle driver back to Heathrow was pretty kickass. You can tell by the ponytail.























Ciggy break for the airport folks I guess.











These kids were a fucking TRIP. They were acting up like crazy.



Duty free stores in the airport XD









The plane was actually pretty awesome. I listened to The Doors and watched Mad Men on the flight.













Mom watching Mad Men. I C U PETE CAMPBELL!











Ice melting near the ~arctic~











Lolz idk.



Several several several hours later we landed back home in Los Angeles. ~Home Sweet Home~



Going through customs at LAX = A BITCH though.

AND THAT CONCLUDES THE EPIC EUROPEAN VACATION AUGUST 2008 PICSPAM! I can't waaaaait to go back to Europe.
