Day 2 of London

I really should start using more interesting names for these blogs, but I write them during the breakfast at the hostel, and am generally not the sharpest in the wee morning hours.

Yesterday I spent the morning in the Tower of London, and went through one of the Yeoman tours, which was as entertaining as expected and made up for the 12 pound price of admission. Then I wandered down the Thames, stopping here and there. Spent a few hours in the Tate Modern Art Gallery, which was suprisingly entertaining. I still have it stuck in my head from childhood that art museums are stuffy, dull places and as such haven't been in one for quite some time. But I found the Surrealism section of Tate amazing. I could get completely lost in a piece, and run through a million emotions and affects in minutes.

I have two holes in the crotch of my pants. Aussie Andy in my hostel room (also my bunk mate) remarked "So you're one pair of jeans are crap, and you're at what... day 2 of your 3 month trip?". Yes Aussie Andy, yes.... Shopping my be required.

I met up with Lauren (UBC friend) and Co (Non-UBC friends) last night in the hostel bar and we chatted and planned for today. They've gone off to the Tower of London for the morning today, and I'm being lazy and hanging out at the hostel until they come back. From there we're meeting up with their friend Matty and my friend (drumroll please).... TERRRRY!! I'm pumped to hang out with Terry in London, and even more pumped to head to Ireland for Terry's birthday. I hope to have some very interesting stories in a weeks time, dear readers!
