Before Mexico there was London

Before heading to Mexico we had three days in London. Last time Alex and I were in the UK we had one crazy full day in London doing all the major site seeing so this time we got to do a bit of a different trip. 

We saw a show. Definitely go see the Book of Mormon if you get a chance. 

We were like an hour away from getting to see Daniel Radcliffe!

I finally got to go the the Museum of Natural History! Yay!

We went on a walking tour of the West End and heard lots of great stories, like the back story of this pub. There was a rich man who owned a warehouse. He was happy and in love and about to be married. He was so excited that he prepared the big wedding feast the night before the wedding, beautifully laid out. Then tragedy struck and  his fiance died the night before the wedding. Dick was distraught and refused to see the point in it all. He declared that from now on he would refuse to bath or clean anything ever because it would just get dirty again. From this point on until the day he died he change his clothes once, out of necessity, because they had rotted off him. He left the great feast to warehouse animals and whenever he found one of them dead he would nail it to the wall. He became known as the dirtiest man in London (which was saying something in those days) and had the dirties warehouse in all of London. People would flock to see him for themselves. Eventually he died and his friends kept his warehouse the way it was. This pub is named after him, Dirty Dick.

We also saw heaps of street art on this tour, even the street artists themselves, promoting their work. (Or this might be some kind of Rap/Urban artist using it as a backdrop.... I don't really know!)

Last but not least we had the chance to catch up with friends, but I don't have any photos of this so you'll just have to believe me that it happened.
