Walking Tours:
Duchamp famously said "The only works of art America has given are her plumbing and her bridges"; so,perhaps this is where my fascination with them comes from. While, I dont believe any bridges on this walking tour of bridges are American (by way to design, not geography), I still find bridges incredible romantic. Despite the taunt : London bridges falling down, these all seem lovely.
Another walking tour is of authors and an activist or two thrown in including Orwell, Ghandi, Yeats, Woolf, and of course Wilde (while, originally from Dublin, he's famed for his UK cheekiness, and was held in the same jail that Julian Assange was just held)
Little Extra Theater:
My housemate is going on the theater end of the seminar and invited me to see a rendintion of Madame Butterfly, so since I will not be going on the Harry Potter tour with her (because I'd rather do any number of things then go on that) this actually sounds... interesting to say the least. I've never been to an opera, first time for everything...
Some Other Things I'm Thinking About
silly touristy things of popular culture affiliation : finding Alice Ayers, Paddington bear as well as famed sights of the Beatles, the Sex Pistols and The Clash. I also plan on spending entirely too much time in bookstores and cafes.
