    London - First Touch

     
       来伦敦一周了,一直懒于去瞻仰他的风貌。总觉得西方大城市大致都差不多,景致无非是公园,教堂,河流,博物馆。比如Boston, 公园是boston common, 教堂很多,然后是charles river和各种meseum. 再如new york, 也是central park + church + hudson river + 各种meseum模式. 伦敦只是把park换成st. james park, 把river换成Thames而已。但无论如何,来一趟总的逛一圈,回去也好有个交代。况且London的名言就写着"if you are tired of London, you are tired of life". 我不敢tired of life, 所以今天鼓起兴趣,到市区去闲逛。
     
      第一站是白金汉宫, buckingham听起来很像barking ham, 就是狗对着火腿叫, 加个palace就是王室居住的地方 -- buckingham palace.

      白金汉宫留给我比较深印象的,是他正前方广场中央的雕像。维多利亚女王上金色的天使,大概是王室希望重现往日辉煌的象征。

      王宫正前方就是St.James Park,环境非常好,很多野鸭野鹅在公园里的湖里嬉戏,公园的远方隐约可见那个著名的摩天轮:London Eye. 公园的尽头是皇家马厮,还有卫兵站岗。

      出了皇家马厩,右边是著名的唐宁街Downing Street,左边是更著名的特拉法加广场Trafalgar Square。曾经打败西法联军的纳尔逊将军的雕像高高的站在广场的中央,150年来静静的注视着他保卫的家园,祝福着追求独立自由和平的人们。当天,广场正在举行集会,庆祝Kosovo的独立。人们脸上画着Kosovo的国旗,举着Thank EU, Thank UK, Thank US的牌子,尖叫着,狂欢着。Kosovo的独立,我也是最近才听说,Russia是坚决反对,China是打太极,所以没有上他们的感谢名单。

      离开Trafalgar Square, 顺着国会大街走,就可以看见london的地标:大笨钟和国会大厦。Big Ben的得名应该是源于他的建造者Benjemin Hall. Big Ben的后面就是River Thames.泰晤士河也不是很干净,我还是喜欢boston的charles river.不过当他下雨后放晴,看见了难得一见的rainbow over thames.

      下午还去了自然博物馆,科学博物馆,全部免费,而且展品,互动项目很多。晚上回到泰晤士River,顺着岸边漫步,听着Big Ben正点浑厚的钟声,突然喜欢上这个城市。
