Why, I found it in London, vaguely near St. Paul's! I didn't actually get the mustache ring because I am cheap and have found that mustache rings can very rarely be worn on formal occasions. And I only wear rings on formal occasions because who needs fancy fingers on a regular basis? Not me.
My dressed-down appendages did come in handy for the ridiculous amount of walking accomplished today. My class had to meet at the Temple tube station for the first walking tour we had as part of our London History class. We walked up to Fleet Street and saw the Royal Court of Justice. As a nerd of the courts in the US, I was more than a little excited to see the huge ass court.
The rest of the walking tour was spent walking up Fleet Street into the City of London (which funnily enough is not the same thing as straight up London... go figure). We stopped by the Temple Church, walked down the street that was where Shakespeare lived when he was residing in London, and ended up where Blackfriars Theatre used to be.
Some friends and I then spent the next few hours mucking around, wandering in and out of shops, and accidentally finding historic sites, which isn't hard to do when they're everywhere, I suppose. At one point we found a small playground, which I took delight in playing on for a few minutes. We also ended up in some luxury shopping building surrounded by men and women in suits. Awkwardly underdressed, we didn't stay too long and I was left wondering if perhaps I should have gotten that mustache ring.
