Last day in London

Today was a perfect last day in London. We went to Hyde park, had a nice breakfast and played hackey sack for a while. Then went to The Tower of London and did a tour of Tower Bridge. By 5pm we were on our way to dinner which we were told would be quite an experience. Brick lane is a street where loads of Indian restaursnts compete for your bussiness. We naturally elected Greg our point man as he knows how to make a deal. We ended up going to the third place we went to because they added some rounds of free beer to an already cheap meal. Although the portions were on the small side, the meal was delicious(thanks sami). After dinner we headed back to our area and steve bought a round of beer. One of many traditions that have been solidified is that everytime we leave a city, someone knew has to buy a round. Greg bought before we flew from NYC which means i will be buying a round( of wine) in Paris.

Closing thoughts on London. Well first of all, for only being here for 4 days we all agreed, we kicked London's ass. We hit all the major sites and then some, had an unlimited subway card which made us kings of the tube, and saw a a show. To top it all off we had the typical English food of fish and chips, meat pie and hot roasted nuts on Tower Bridge.

I've learned a few more things... Sharing is key. The three of us have been great with sharing foods, drinks and money if need be and it's great. So crucial to be able to do this on a trip such as the one we are on. We have also been great with watching each other's back. In return for me helping Steve buy jeans he knew i really had to pee so he asked someone where a bathroom was and it was the cutest thing ever, haha just joking( about the cute part, but it was nice). Another thing is that Steve is a great alarm clock. Every morning around 9am i feel this big bear claw grab my leg and like clockwork i give a thumbs up to let him know i'm up. As for Londoners go, we have met a mix of very nice helpful people but have also interacted with short, scarcastic and to the point people. These are the people who could care less about you and what you want. But ya know what, those people exist everywhere so i guess its nothing knew. In general, we seem to be getting into a groove of how we work together, which is great because we are really just starting out. But if ya think about it, the three of us have lived in a tent, won and lost color wars and cooked bushels of live crabs together so this trip is nothin, haha. Enjoy the pics Greg is about to post. A special thank you to Patty and David for purchasing tickets to the show the other night. It was great! Goodbye London, hello Paris...
