London Calling
I went to London this weekend. A very good trip. I stayed with a couple friends who I met in Italy in the Spring.
Fortunately, our school day finishes at 1pm every Friday so I was able to be having a pint in a central London pub by 5pm. I met up with my mates and had many more pints that night.
Saturday was slow to start but I made it to the British Museum and the National Gallery. Saw a few more amazing pieces of art. My famous art checklist gets shorter. Saturday night went to a dinner party at some Londoner's place who I met in Croatia. I was the "intriguing foreign guy" for the night. I made it through the onslaught of typical questions and met some other very cool people. I took off Sunday afternoon and made it back in time for my hockey game. We got humped AGAIN (12-5) I scored 3 goals.
That was my weekend. Nothing too exciting. Now I am sick. I think breathing in the grimy air of London and then coming back to the fresh Highland air has done my lungs in. Or, it was all the drink and lack of sleep on the weekend.
