Back Again

Winter in Trafalgar (Feb. 3rd)


Summer in Trafalgar (May 29)


Well it seems hard to believe but after 4 months of hopping about the continent, we are back in London with our friends. The weather was absolutely beautiful at 80 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. Taking full advantage of this rare occurrence there was not a soul inside for the weekend. The commons and the parks which when we left were covered in 2 feet of snow were now filled with people playing football and cricket and eating feasts of fresh fruit and icy drinks. Save for a couple of wicked hangovers after a night at the pub with some friends from home we too were outside for much of our last week abroad. We took a day trip down to Brighton, a small beach town just south of the city where our Dad grew up. In about three hours we got the worst sunburn either of us has had since we were little kids. Ross, our British friend, took great pride in the fact that he got the southern Californians burned in England.

Our last night we had a big goodbye dinner with Ross and his mates, some friends we met in Budapest who happened to be in London at the time, and two of my good friends from home. It seemed hard to believe that the trip was at an end. What an amazing time.
