Just let it be already

So last night was interesting....our pubbin night turned into a mad search to get back to the hostel afterwards. We started out at a pub near St. Pauls and went all over downtown. London transportation after midnight epically fails. Who ever thought it was smart to close the subways and reroute the buses thus confusing even the Brits was not very clever. Obviously we got back safe and sound.....over 2 hours later. Today my friend and I went to explore the markets at Brick Lane and Spitalfields. The first was crude and was pretty much a mix of a garage sale and flea market. Interesting group of locals there. The second had much more interesting stuff including vintage items, local art, clothing, you name it. I could get into some serious trouble there. Lunch was in a pub and the was a football match going on...a bunch of locals were there and contrary to what I would have thought it was dead silent.  We went down to Big Ben, Parliment,  and Westminster....absolutely amazing!! The amount of detail in those sites and the amount of time and skill that must have gone into them is unfathomable.  Unfortunately Westminster was closed so its going to be another place I have to go back and see. After some people watching in Trafalgar Square,  I headed over to see the musical, Let It Be, a Beatles tribute show. At intermission now and so far it is fantastic. Its pretty much just the music,  no plot, but it follows the chronological order of the Beatles and their music. They were showing clips of fans from their real shows and I decided I would have probably been one of them...not the hysterical crying or jumping the barrier to see them being chased by the police,  but definitely one of the screamers.....if you remember my Backstreet Boys phase it would make perfect sense. Not sure what the rest of the night will bring so well see! Cheerio!
