Well, I'm not exactly certain they always speak the truth...but the famed Speaker's Corner (in Hyde Park) was rockin' today. On my way through the park this afternoon, there were at least 6 different people up on small utility ladders, some with a megaphone, and each person had their own posse of listeners surrounding them. Of course, there was also the general public milling around, and a lot of curious tourists standing by with cameras clicking away. One gentleman was speaking on the general embarrassments of first meetings between the opposite sex; another was speaking on Islamic religious practices; and yet another was shouting about politics and feeling persecuted. It was unbelievable, even if it wasn't exactly enlightening.
As I am currently in the world's greatest "Melting Pot" - I've often heard London referred to as the biggest melting pot of cultures and ethnicities - and being the adventurer that I am, I tried a new cuisine...a falafal wrap. Quite tasty with roasted red peppers and sundried tomatoes in it.
So this evening closes on a very lovely day - sun shining and all. New prospects to explore tomorrow on flat rentals and perhaps a trip to the Embassy to offer the names of those who left me flat-less...it's up to the Universe now to decide their fate.
