Westminster and more

On our first full day in London we started out with Rick Steves' Westminster Walk. We saw the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and more. We had lunch in the Cafe in the Crypt at St. Martin in the Fields church. We returned to the Westminster area after lunch and strolled the Jubilee Walk where we saw tons of street performers. There were a few of the standard paint-yourself-a-metallic-color-and-pretend-to-be-a-statue, a few random dancers, people in random costumes, a few musicians, and the weirdest were probably the lady with over 6,000 piercings and the man walking around with a live snake around his neck. We went to Westminster Abbey for the Evensong service, which was really neat to participate in. For supper we went to another English restaurant... I'm not so impressed by English food, but it has been nice to have CHEDDAR CHEESE!! Anyway, we're very tired but still have a big list of things to see tomorrow!
