We have one more day in London and then head back to Luxembourg tonight. It is going to be a long night.
The boys and I walked a lot yesterday and enjoyed the fun people watching. We spent most of our day in Covent Garden where we were entertained by the most bold of street entertainers. The boys loved it, but I was a bit shocked by how most of the entertainers didn't mince words when asking for money after each show. They asked for a minimum donation and told the audience not to bother if it was less than a pound. At first I thought they were joking, but I'm pretty sure they were serious.
Eventually we made our way to Piccadilly Circus where I had my first conversation with the boys about cons. Ben is naturally suspicious of people, which seems to be serving him well in a big city. However, Sam, my bleeding heart, wants to help everyone and share everything he has. I finally had to put a stop to Sam's generosity when we were approached by a woman who was selling a book she apparently wrote. Sam was eager to tell the stranger all about how she could improve her sales through selling her book at stores or online. He then told her how I love to read and would probably buy a few books. Oh, Sam.
