Londres 28/10/1989 Saturday
Today I got to know a bit of London. In the afternoon we got in the ‘tube’ (we are staying right in front of Euston Station) and we went to Piccadilly Circus, right in the center of town. It was so windy! The metro lines here are very confusing. There are twelve lines criss-crossing, they almost tie into a messy knot. When we changed in Leicester Sq., there was a man playing and singing ‘Comfortably Numb’ wonderfully. He was blond and had lots of hair. wow! I nearly stopped. We took the two level bus, the touristic one, from Trafalgar Square (my memory is good today!) and we drove past some of the most historic areas of London.
All very amazing, ostensive, imposing… I saw the Thames river! How many amazing places we don’t get to see in this big world! One life isn’t enough to see it all. But I want to visit a non touristic area in the city. All I can say is that I have seen a lot and this made me want to see more, in all its detail and depth. We got back to Trafalgar square and ate pizza. It’s autumn and it’s so windy, it makes it hard to walk, it disturbs my steps and pushes and pulls me. I don’t like it, but I must have lived here before, I feel at home… The best thing about it is that I can be whoever I want, how I want, because no one gives a damn! I need to start some English classes!
