St Pau's, Sir Christopher Wren, Cheapside, the Blitz...and pubs

Hi all, hopefully today we'll get to St Paul's and Cheapside. We are really in the heart of old London now.
Sorry about the files from last week, I sent them, but they were too big. It was two days later before I got the failure-to-send notice, so they must have been REALLY big!

Next time, see what you can find, pictures, illustrations, about what this part of London looked like in Shakespeare's day, before the fire. Also a little about how people in London lived at the time?

Maybe a couple of you can research the Blitz.

And of course, pubs and pub food.

For a little extra fun, check out the Red Lion pub on youtube ( a different Red Lion, not the one we saw!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKcLva2Vn7k
And check out Camden Market and Portobello road market--also on youtube. Fun!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZYBxOdiasg

I knew I should have had more food for breakfast today! All of the food looks so good. I've been vegetarian foe awhile, but I'm willing to go back to eating meat again just to try English food XD !!! I really like this aria of town, because I'm an English literature major and I study a lot of Shakespeare so the Elizabethan buildings get me really excited.
