Today I would consider a success. Yes, definitely. Me, being the nerdy history buff loved every second of it. Sites were ridiculously beautiful, making ol’ modern America look second rate. By far it was my favorite day since I’ve been here, and also the most surreal. Am I really in England? It must be true if my feet have calluses and my camera is tired.

I was told to try and not look like a tourist. Well, that was not what happened. Even without a fanny pack I still looked like I didn’t belong. I was snapping shots of everything in sight, from pigeons crowding the cafe table to one stone building after another. I was openly gasping as I turned the corner to a new street, unfolding the mystery of London.

I will be returning, there is so much more to gawk at.
