OK then, can I jog behind you and carry your Bible of something? I love good food at low prices! Do they have Starbucks??

We stayed at a nice Western style hotel, I asked for Coffee you should have seen the blank looks on their faces, they serve Indian Milk Tea, almost like the Chai blend that Starbucks serves. India is great, costs a lot to get there, but once you are there it is so cheap. You could live good on 1k a month. Servants and all.

Yup. I think they just opened the new train station in London that is cutting another 30 minutes off the London to Paris Eurostar time.
I would only do that if I had a lot of time though because you would lose an entire day. Plus Spring, summer, or fall is the time to go to Paris!!!
I saw the Mona Lisa way back in 1976 and was shocked at how little the painting is. Back then it wasn't even kept under glass but shortly after I saw it a crazy man attacked it and cut it so they started protecting it better.
You need a complete day just to go trhough the Louvre and that would mean one more day around French people. Ughhhh.

I am budgeting about 800-1000 for the 3 days we are there.
So we are on a budget, so I can't splurge.
On the list is the British Museum, Westminister Abbey, Imperial War Museum, Tower of London, taking a Walk tour, etc. Any others ideas, I have no idea what kinds of food we should try. So input from those that have been would be helpful.
Thanks in Advance

I think when I was there for 10 days in 2002 the exchange rate was about $1.60 to one pound sterling then 1 1/2 years ago it was almost exactly $2.00 to one pound sterling.
You can pretty much count on any food being about doublle what it would be in the USA at best. We ate at a TGI Friday's there and everything on the menu is about doulbe the price of a similar restaurant in America.
Cokes in a restaurant are about three or four dollars with no refills.
I don't remember Burger King or McDonalds being that expensive but it was about doulbe what it is in the states.
Back in 2002 for my family of four to eat ata Pizza Hut for lunch was about sixty bucks.
In 2006 in Edinburgh Scotland after I almost drowned earlier in the day I celebrated life by ordering the most expensive thing on the hotel restaurant menu wihich was a steak for about $30 and it was not as good a steak as you would get in the USA for about ten bucks somewhere.
