After two days of fun in the London sun, the ugly weather finally reared its head. Thursday started off cold and rainy and got only marginally better as the day went on. Oh well, two days of sunshine was a pretty good run.
It will not come as a shock to anyone that has been here, but London is expensive!! Today I went to get a duplicate key made and it was over 6 pounds - about 12 dollars! I was missing the 1.97 Wal-Mart key cutting.
Fortunately, some things in London are free. Take museums for example. There are probably a dozen excellent free museums in London.
The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square

Self explanatory
Today I took a peek in the national gallery before going to the national portrait gallery. I got to brush up on my British history by reading about London's royal family from the 1500s or so on and seeing portraits of Kings, Queens, and other notable people.

As I was leaving the museum there was a bit of sunshine. It even looked like good weather for a jog. So, when I got back the flat Seth and I went for a jog down Paddington canal.
The big plan for tomorrow evening is to find a cheap theater ticket and see a show.. will let you know how it turns out.
