London Fun


So I've spent about a full week wandering around London, spreading my cold as well as I can by endlessly coughing everywhere I go. It's been pretty cold and windy, so it's been harsh, but I still have had a great time. Enys has been a wonderful host and we've gone out to the pub every night with his friends. Not being able to drink anything due to my cold has been a blessing in disguise, since I just sip water with ice and lemon all night, quite cheap! We call them my 'gin tonics'. So I've been getting quite a taste of pub life in England. We even went to a bar/artsy area called London Dungeon, which was literally a old dungeon with art installations and a venue for music. Not to bad to be able to say to someone "Sorry you couldn't call me last night, I had no reception in the dungeon I was in".

I've wandered through most museums including the National Portrait Gallery and the British Museum (which should be more aptly labeled, "School children daycare"). Oh, and I've actually got the rest of my plans somewhat laid down! I'm going on Easyjet flights to Berlin, Athens, Paris, Barcelona, and Dublin, and then flying to Bangkok on April 24th, spending three months in Asia, and then flying out of Bangkok to LA on July 17th! It feels good to have a return date, I feel a bit less aimless. Though that means have only about 4 months left which is little in one way and quite a lot in another (unless I become fluent quickly in Greek, German, or French soon, I have a challenge ahead of me). So we'll see how that all works out!
