ENGLAND london
i FINALLY made it to london! i went to visit my friend chris, who i met with enda and randall in la paz…and like the 10th person i have seen from my south america trip. good times. despite everyone telling me how expensive things are, i was not ready for it. for example: my twenty pound (so 40 FREAKIN DOLLAR) mexican restaurant bill for three beef tacos and my share of a pitcher of margarita! how i miss my $1.75 tres hermanos tacos. anyway, all the restaurants we hit up were so delicious and it was good to eat something other than bocadillos and eggs.
we basically did all the “london” sight seeing in one day, and it was efficient and enough for me. i figure i have to be back here for my flight out, so if i missed something i will catch it later. the weather was crappy overcast-typical london according to chris. but it was kinda perfect for running around the city without getting too cold or hot. we walked through some parks ( i thinkst. james´s…since it was by buckingham palace) and then down by the river to see big ben…and i finally felt like i was in london when i saw the parliament building! we even checked out the tate modern and viewed an exhibition by some french artist named louise bourgeois…and basically got my share of museums for the next five years.
this was nfl weekend since the dolphins played the giants in the first regular season game played outside america. i would have wanted to go if it were any other team…but the dolphins? the game was at wembley and was shown on skysports…but that meant i had to listen to the skysports commentators. lame. made me miss my espn…and tnt…and hilarious and most times irrelevant comments by charles barkley. in the underground we saw a lot of people who were going to the game, wearing jerseys repping practically every team. this was cool to see-gotta support your boys! go seahawks!
