Day 3: Loving the city

London has grown upon me in the three days I have been here. Walked along the northern bank of the Thames today and went to the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral and the National Gallery today. The mixture of old stone buildings and modern glass-faced structures which adorns this city is a treat to the eye. The view from St. Paul's is exquisite. The photo below, of St. Paul's Dome, was taken later - did not have a camera on me that day.


The availability of all manner of foods here makes it a welcome change from Tokyo (more a problem from the language point-of-view rather than availability, to be fair) . Had lunch in "The Japanese Canteen" today. Have resolved to eat as little as possible from the Mcdonalds and Subways of the world - though I did eat from a Mac yesterday afternoon.
