Ready, Steady...Tow!: I didn't see Mods or Rockers in England. WTF?

We arrived into dreary London the morning of Nov. 11th. We had no set agenda and we had our accommodations set with somebody we met through www.couchsurfing.com. John Wright was our couch surfing host and what a great host he was. We were staying in a south west suburb called Kingston which wasn't really a suburb but more like an outdoor shopping centre. It was also home to Kingston University. John was very welcoming, and gave us tips and ideas what to do with our short stay. John had another couch surfer staying with him, Santiago from Argentina. We hope to cross paths with the both of them again someday. Two day's isn't long in London, but our wallets couldn't handle much more so it was good to say good bye. (not that Iceland is any cheaper). The highlight of our trip was seeing Borat in Camden. Go see it if you haven't already and bring your loved ones too. We found it interesting that we laughed our asses off at times that the English audience had no reaction. The American's and the English are just on two totally different pages in the funny dept. Here are some of the things we saw:

Am I the only one in the dark here about this? Who knew that Patrick Swayze had a staring role in Guys and Dolls?

These kids ruled. Notice the boys jacket, that's right.. Fresno State Bulldogs. I had to say something. I asked the kid if he knew what he had on, and he replied with a no. I told him I was originally from Fresno and that it was a cowboy town in California with lots of raisins. The two of them were so stoked. I asked if I could take a photo and they cheerfully accepted.

For some reason I was really amused with the oversized bottom half of a punk rocker that was attached to the side of a building in Camden.

This was the most interesting street signage I came across on my travels.

Here is Bill crushing a Mini Cooper with his fingers.

Bill and The Mona Lisa in the Tubes.

Bill and the London Bridge Underground Sign. It's so hard not to take photos in the Underground. Their logo looks too good.

This guy had it going on. He was playing under a bridge along the Thames River next to the Tate Modern museum.

The Millennium Bridge and Swiss Re Building

I caught this moment of a man and his daughter assisting his construction of a rock tower formation they built along the river bank of The Thames. It was quite sweet.
