to the Klink!

For those of you that don't know, the Klink was a dungeon in central london where they torchered prisoners in the...let's say the 15th century [I'm just making that up, yes....I don't really remember what the time period was, but it was when they burned women who might have been witches and crap like that].

Well, I went there on Sat. with the boys [Robi, Andrew and Mark] Kamani and Whit. It was a waist of money really, but there were some freaky things up in there. When you approach this place you see this mummified looking body in a cage like thing hanging in the alley way [Andrew assures me that it was a manequin wrapped to look like a real body, but Greg (the one that saved my computer in his boxers and towel) told everyone that it was a real body up there:].

Anyway, there's no real story from the Klink, just that that's one of the things that we did on Sat. Before that, however, is a fairly interesting story!

We start out our journey by getting on the bus; the cheapest form of transportation unless you want to wear out your legs walking all over [which, I think I've explained that we have already done like 12,000 times already]. So, typically, we don't get on the bus that will take us all the way up to the Klink [or anywhere really close]. So we get off right in front of the London Eye [the huge ferris wheel in central london that takes like an hour to get all the way around once]. And so we're sitting there joking and messing around waiting for the next bus to take us to the Klink. So while we're sitting there I look over and see the paparatzi [I can't spell], pointing his camera with the super zoom up to the top of the London ferris wheel. So logically I look up there....and wouldn't you know that there was a man up there! I'd heard on the radio earlier that it was shut down because of security issues but I had no clue that it ment there was a man up there! So then I get the whole group to gawk with me at this man [which turned out to really be one man, and then 3 bobbies (police)]. And one man standing near us explained that this man had been up there since about 6:30 this morning and he was dressed in a spiderman outfit! I was like, "That's ridiculous, why?" And this guy explains that he's part of an orginization called....Fathers 4 Justice. This group is full of fathers that say they don't get to spend enough time with their children because of the government divorce rules and whatever that has banned them from spending time with the kids.
Turns out this guy [who stayed up there untill 10:30pm], did the same thing last year on the Tower Bridge for like, 6 days, in the same spiderman suit.
Today, another member of Fathers 4 Justice dressed up as batman and got up onto a ledge at Buckingham Palace. His accomplice, Robin of corse, didn't make it up to the ledge but did talk to tv people [smile].

Exciting, huh!? It's cool to say, "ha, I saw that guy up there and have pictures" [yeah, he'll be a small dot, but whatever!]

Anyway, that was fun. We went to the Klink, then to the Tate Modern Museum [that was cool] and then shopped a bit and ate at this place in china town [which was also good].

Sunday Whit and I went to this church that we saw playing music at the Notting Hill carnival that we went to the first weekend we were here. The church was really cool [all the way on the other side of town, but none the less great]. It had contemporary music and the sermon was on judging others...it was really good.

After that we went to this black and white film showing on a big screen in Trafalgar Square. That was really cool. It was all historical and stuff, and there weren't words to go along with it [there was music that was specially written to accompany the film], so I'm not sure how much I really understand....but it was really cool [even though we stood, yes stood! for like 3 hours...no lie!].

So that brings me to today, and I went to class and saw the Tower of London with my class and that's really it [smile]. I have completed homework though! I hope everythings great at home.

LOVE<><,
