Day 2 (written on Day 3)

Today started out by watching Top Gear in the hostel lounge while eating breakfast (jealous, Adam?). I was happy to get an early start to Camden Town, where I was going to meet Dr Fonder, because I got to experience a beautiful London morning.

I bought a cheap pay-as-you-go cell phone (which, at the time of this posting, I still haven't been able to activate), and wandered around for a while before meeting up with Dr Fonder.

After we met up (read: after he found me), we took the Tube downtown to sightsee. This was my first time in London, so we made sure to see EVERYTHING. I could go on and on about everything we saw, but that would take pages to type and hours of your time. Just wait for the photos... Whenever I can get them up.

After we had dinner at Wagamama's, an Asian noodle place chain, he went to see Fidelio at the Royal Opera House and I went to see a performance of Mozart's Marriage of Figaro overture, Schubert 8, and Beethoven 5 at St Martin-in-the-Fields. It was a great performance, and I was so happy that I went.

Tomorrow: Paris!
