Trafalgar Square

The other day I was planning on going on a bus tour through London, but I ended upbeing too fascinated with the area around the bus stop ( Trafalgar Square) to even get on the bus. It is a very cultural area with spanish dancers playing their castanets, insanely good soccer jugglers, rapper, street artists, the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, and amazing monuments. I will try and post the video of these kids showing off their juggling skills.

The National Gallery was amazing. Famous works by Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo Da Vinci, any many others were on display. Unfortunately I didn't see any Donatello to complete the Ninja Turtle set, which was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. Seeing Van Gogh's painting Sunflowers reminded me of art class at Truman with Mrs. Brown, who always showed that picture to the class. It was also interesting to see how Monet increasingly became more of an impressionists in his later years, but also increasingly blind. Obviously I couldn't take pictures inside the museum, but here are some of the surrounding Trafalgar Square area.
