I decided to attempt to post pictures of the Wenlock & Mandeville Statues in case the website doesn't work in the states.  Be prepared, you'll be scrolling down for a while.

Wenlock & Mandeville.

In celebration of the Olympics, there are six discovery trails set up around London, where visitors can follow the routes to explore the city.  Along the routes, there are various Wenlock and Mandeville statues (the Olympic mascot and Paralympic mascot respectively).

Each statue is decorated differently to reflect the landmark, neighborhood, or area in which they are located. I made it my goal to find them all ... in a period of two days ... and there are a total of 82!

Amazingly I did it (sort of).  One of the statues (Graffiti Wenlock) was missing.  I think they've since replaced it with a different one.

To see the routes and the various statues visit http://molpresents.com/stroll.  There you can see pictures of them all.  It will take ages for me to upload them all.

Leicester Square

I decided to stop by Leicester Square on my way home after St Paul's Cathedral on Monday afternoon.  Leicester Square is known for being a center for the theatres and plays.  You can buy theatre tickets pretty cheap down there.  There's a small park in the center of the square where they have a statue of William Shakespeare.

Another popular attraction in Leicester Square is the M&M World store.  Although it was an extremely tourist-y thing to do, I went in to have a look around.

Of course, there were all the usual characters!
