Last night I heard doors opening and closing and since I had barely seen another soul in the hostel, I thought the building might be haunted. I managed to get to bed around 10, but woke up at 11 and Posted by tjolson_mn in Four Countries in 13 Days... | Aug 20, 2009

Holy cow, I'm in London.
I managed to get on the correct train from the airport and catch the correct tube line to the closest tube stop from my hostel, the LSE Passfield Hall. It's like an old dormatory. Actually, Posted by tjolson_mn in Four Countries in 13 Days... | Aug 19, 2009

HOLY man, London's freaking huge. Huge isn't even the word! So much to learn even about how to BE in London. But I've got the tube under control, got the fast walk going, if only I packed a business suit Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Aug 6, 2009

Yesterday morning I got up and got on the bus for the Stonehenge tour. Stonehenge was built over 4000 years ago, but that's pretty much the only thing cool about it. It really is a bunch of rocks just hanging Posted by veggiepack in Europe 2009 | Aug 5, 2009

This year marks the 500th anniversary of the start of the reign of Henry the Eighth. The king, I mean, not the guy who got married to the widow next door.
