After another long day of class we went to the British Museum. It was so incredibly big. Everybody was so tired so it made it more difficult to walk around the building. Also, the boring teacher decided to be our own personal tour guide. He always says he will only talk for 5 minutes and ends up talking for 30. The one major thing I wanted to make sure I saw was the Egypt exhibit. I definitely got to see the mummies which was AMAZING! We only saw a few other rooms; I really wish we could have seen more. We might go back but who knows. We had to leave to get to our walking tour of the area around the Globe Theater. We ate at a cute little pub right on the Thames ... read more

Very brief posting this time as I am in a pay by the minute internet cafe next to a gay bookstore. London, you are a lady. So, I made it safe and am having an interesting time in the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. Now I must go find food before I commit homicide. Love you all. Jim... read more

Right. I am home. This will be very very brief. This is not a "travel"blog, it is a "home"blog. San Francisco was great fun. Pirates, Golden Gate, Chowder, Bikes, Alcatraz, Trams; standard but awesome fun. Just wanted to say I hope you all (well some, not bothered really) enjoyed reading/deleting my blogs. I liked writing them. My photos (about 2000) are currently being edited to Best Of. When that's done I will do Best Of Best Of. This is likely to be a more managable size to show people. I will then show you them when I see you. I know...you literally can't wait. Now. The main point of this homeblog is to tell you a short story about a frisbee. Alex and I were given a frisbee before we left the UK. This frisbee travelled ... read more

I leave in four and a half days. Four and a half days? How has it come up so fast and I've not even noticed? I'm still in my hometown, Oxford, and busy preparing, visiting friends and relatives, doing a few days work for a slice of money before I go. This post is in part a test as I've never used this site before but also a glimpse of the beginning of this adventure I suppose. As of now, I can't decide if I'm disorganised or not. I think it's more a case of casual organisation that leads everything to fall into place at the last minute. I haven't packed, in fact I don't have half the things to pack yet. I'm going to London tomorrow to buy those and also pick up my ... read more
