London Calling





Last weekend I went to London to meet Greg and Mike and his friend Michelle who were coming in from Boston for Spring Break. I wasn't exactly sure how we were going to meet, but we actually ended up in the same car of the same train on the tube.

We hit up all the tourist stuff (including the London Eye - which is 30 minutes of my life I'll never get back, thanks to Greg), and then went out drinking to all of Mike's old bars. The highlight was probably the London hot dogs which were incredible... probably because of all the grease they were soaking in.

The hostel was interesting - especially the 30-something eastern European guy eyeing me in the shower, and the horrible smell in the morning. But we managed to drag ourselves up for another day of sightseeing. We hit the British Museum, Buckingham Palace and the Tower Bridge before I had to leave to go back to Oxford.
