Arrived in London, one suitcase short. Apparently RyanAir hasn't heard of adhesive, so Mom's luggage tag fell off. We took the rail from the airport to Victoria Station, and a taxi from Victoria to the Sofitel St. James hotel, which is pretty impressive. Mom and I went to a three storey Tower Records store, which had an amazing amount of music available.

Picadilly Circus was really crazy, Brazil had just won the World Cup and people were dancing in the fountains (the water had been shut off) and waving flags. Hundreds of people filled the square. There was a bobby on the corner, facing away from the crowd. The expression on his face said "If I turn around, I'll have to do something about all these wackos."
