Sunday the 3rd
On Sunday, our main object was the Arsenal Game, or watching it on tv in a pub with the local fans. We decided to spend the first part of the day doing "touristy" things, so we went to see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Eye. At Buckingham, we took some photos that were pretty impressive, mainly because the place itself is so impressive. both pete and i remember most of it from our past travels, it left such an impression on us.
From buckingham we walked to Big Ben and saw the outside of the Abbey (it was sunday, for some reason no tours...) then we paused on the bridge overlooking Big Ben and Parlement and reflected on how no matter how many photos we took, Monet captured the scene better.
We then continued across the bridge and saw a rather cool fountain, though even now we have no idea about anything about it (its name, reason, history...). Since we have already done the london eye, we were content with walking around the base of it near County Hall which will soon feature a Salvador Dahli exhibit so we got to see some of his statues.
From The River, we went up to the Arsenal tube stop and took a walk around the new(2006) Emerets Stadium, home to my favorite football(soccer) team, Arsenal. we then walked around the neighborhood and found a pub in which to watch the game on tv. The game was being played in West Ham. Arsenal was down 1-0 at halftime but rallied in the last 20 min, winning the game 2-1. After the game we went back to our neighborhood and ate at a local Indian restraunt, Indigo. The food was fantastic, each one of beliving our dish to be the best one ordered. we will defentally be back.
