If you catch the quote from my title, you win my everlasting affection. I am currently in London watching the rain plop onto the trees and windows and readying my courage to go out. The rain isn't what scares me, I love succulent, wet rain. No, it is London. Will it live up to the glory everyone places on it? I will soon find out. After lunch.
Yesterday I went to Blackpool with Danielle and her flatmate, Sam. The call of seagulls and brown sugar sand were everything I expected and I loved the tourist-trap markets and gypsy tents. We rode the carousel and went into a mosters of the deep sea exhibit, which I felt like my time and money could have been better spent on the Ferris Wheel, but I am sure that has to do with me being from Destin and therefore jaded by the sealife. But it was a fun time.
I left the girls there to collect my things from Lancaster and then head to London where I took my first taxi at the insistence of my cousin. She greeted me at her door and we got along immediately, we talked nonstop as she fed me, took me to a pub, and then as we seperated into our respective rooms for the night.
I was suprised to find that she worked for the NFL here, where they play one game a year. Apparently British people are into American football.
This morning I woke up, settled into my living quarters (this is the longest I will stay at one place during my trip - I have drawers!), had a bagel and read the paper which talked mainly of Obama and the new law passed in Pakistan and very little of British going-ons, and then tried to plan my trip after London which thoroughly exhausted me. The only real work I did was booking a hostel in Ireland.
But I will not while my time in London away on a computer! So I will have a sandwich and then be off.

Since no one said anything about it, I don't feel bad about ruining the secret. Bambi. There, it's out. I should get some other prize since I already have your everlasting affection! <3
