Trafalgar Square, London
Dateline: London, England - Friday, March 14, 2008
Caught up with my nephew Kos.
Met him down at Trafalgar Square. I have so many memories of this place. Most of them associated with political rallies and demonstrations I attended during my years in London in the early 1970s. Spent time catching up with his life here in London, and the news from home. Visited the National Portrait Gallery. Magnificent works of art. Turner, Degas, Van Gogh, and many others.
We also walked around the local area, down through Green Park to Buckingham Palace, and back up to Piccadilly Circus and the West End.
Went and saw Neil Young at the Hammersmith Apollo. The support act was Neil’s wife, Pegi Young. We missed most of her set since we were out having a Thai meal at a local restaurant. Neil Young was solo for his first set, then with a full band for his second (which included Pegi on back up vocals).
It was a great performance, only marred by the idiots who insist on shouting between songs for their own favourite Neil Young song. Why they can’t be happy just to be at the performance and enjoy the selection of songs he wants to perform, I’ll never understand.
Total spending today: GBP: 48.50 ($105.05) Note: does not include the cost of Neil Young tickets, as these had been purchased several months ago.
