I wore an Illini sweatshirt today while we walked around and within 15 minutes of getting off the subway 5 separate people said Go Illini!! One even did the ILL INI chant. It was pretty cool running into Illini fans in London.
Everyone is very friendly here and although the news would have you believe otherwise they really seem to like Americans and America. We ate with some friends of Stuart's tonight who were very nice.
We walked all over London today. I think we covered over 6 miles on foot and probably 45 in trains. It took us 2 hours to get back from dinner as we ate on the far side of the city in a little pub. We were able to see Buckingham palace, the changing of the guards, the Horse Guards, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, the London Eye, all the the major London bridges, the Tower Bridge, London Tower, and St. Paul's Cathedral (the Bird Lady wasn't around though). All in all it was a great day!!!
