Where did I leave off, I have to apologize for the last post….seeing that I probably could of waited for sobriety to explain my travels. I have just got home from school, and I can say that Italian is not an easy language. This weekend was wonderful, and a part of me wishes I were traveling between tiny cities with no real perception of time. Aosta in an hour and a half with no real plan of what we were going to do. The tiny town draws many tourists, but the cobble stone roads, colorful painted houses, and quaint cafes finally gave me the real stereotypical impression of Italy.

My last day in London. I have to thank my wonderful running shoes for taking me on a glorious jog along the Thames River. I have included some pictures of my glorious Hostel. Super Fancy. I wondered through Borough Market. I have to say the highlight was the CHEESE STORE.

You would think that maybe something would be available to do but here people start everything a little bit later. We ended up taking the tube to Camden Town. A few things that we noticed… 1. If it is before 9 am, bring a paper to read on the Tube, everybody is doing it. 2. Mixed Drinks come in the can, yes Dad you’re favorite Gin and Tonic is a close as a can open away. 3. Nothing really opens and starts jumping till like 1030/11 4. Entertainment can be found by walking through the super market Brits can say just about anything and it can ... read more
