more london

today, we got up and went to highgate village and then highgate cemetery, where I saw the graves of Edmund Spenser and KARL MARX!!!! Then we took the tube to Camden Town, which is much like Telegraph Ave. Then we walked all the way accross Regents Park to the tube station. We took the tube to Leicester Square and got tickets, and then to Waterloo Station to negotiate our Chunnel tickets. Then, we took the tube to New Cross, which is an amazing Afro-Caribbean influenced area of London. We walked to Greenwich and saw the Maritime Museum and the Prime Meridian!!! Then we walked back to the tube and took it to Piccadilly Circus, and walked to Covent Garden and ate again at the Veggie Place. Then, we went to find this alley with a bunch of vegetarian restaurants, but got sidetracked by an Irish pub. We had a few pints, and then walked to Piccadilly Circus to the Criterion Theatre, where we saw The Reduced Shakespeare Company's Compleat Wks. of William Shkspr. (abridged). It was so fuckin funny with all the anti-war statements mixed in. During the finale, where they do Hamlet backwards, they say "Listen for the satanic messages." Right in the middle of the mini-performance, the guy jumps through the air and yells "George Bush is great!" amidst all the chaos. It was so funny. Everyone loved it. We met these kids from Belfast and talked to them for awhile, and now we are back in Highgate, getting ready for Paris tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. Du Pere Lachaise (Famous people's graves), Montmarte and the Champs-Elysees, and maybe Les Halles and Notre Dame. Whatever we have time for. Hopefully lots of time to chill in a cafe, but probably not. anyways, off to sleep now. Goodnight.
