Quick England update
Ok... first to get those up to speed who have not been with me or received my (one lonely) email from England. So before heading to Rome I decided to travel around in England for some time, both to visit some camp people and to see the sites. When I arrived in England I took the tube to meet Stacey at the train station, went to her house, and slept... I "wasn't even jetlagged!" The next day I went to Rochester to see a cathedral and some castle ruins, and I started my trip off right by being the city planner dork that I am and enjoying just walking around and seeing what seems to work and what doesn't. The next day I did the whirlwind tour of London seeing: Buckingham palace, Westminster abbey, St Paul's (got to see the inside for free and it was amazing), tate modern, tower bridge (well kinda), picadilly circus, big ben, traflagar square... and more. Next day the jetlag finally hit as I tried to go make it to the places in London that I had missed but realized I was too tired to walk anywhere. So I made it to Camden town and bought some scarfs, but it was sketchy or "dodgy" so I went back. I then proceded to lug my bags through yet another sketchy place in area, somehow making it to the bustop where I waited grasping my bags due to the constant anouncements about pickpockets and such. Once again... more to come (i get bored easily)
