A Continued Exploration of London!

Yesterday, we continued our exploration of the wonderful city of London. We both spent time shooting restaurants and B&B's in the afternoon and then took to an artistically motivated evening. The city is filled with interesting alley ways, parks, and little nooks that for us were great discoveries. As the sun went down the light turned a warm orange and radiated throughout the city. We saw the Tower Bridge and the London Bridge with a warm glow upon them as the sun dipped below the horizon. With the falling of the sun and the end of work, people flooded to the pubs. We were astounded at the numbers of people that crowded in and around countless pubs throughout the city enjoying countless pints of beer. Men and women joined together for an early evening drink to celebrate the end of their work week. It seemed as if they were giving away free beer when in fact this occurrence was merely a daily ritual. Later that evening, Sergio and I headed out to meet our friend Emily. She introduced us to a group of her friends whom we ate a wonderful indian meal with. It was a great experience eating with people from India, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabian. The people were extremely warm and friendly and the food was delicious. After dinner we headed back, picking up a drink along the way before calling it a night.

Today took a different course. The lack of sleep had caught up to us and we spent a couple more hours in bed than we traditionally would have. By the time we left the room, we headed out for some lunch and then spent some time prepping for our trip to Amsterdam. We spent the afternoon continuing to research our next location and meeting people at our local pub. After the pub, we headed to China town and spent the next couple hours taking pictures and doing an immense amount of walking. This trip has been not only a productive time for our eyes, but also our legs. We again explored new areas of the city before heading back to our place to catch some sleep.
