Tonight we went to The River Thames Festival on the banks between Tower Bridge and London Bridge, complete with music, food, vendors, and the most spectacular parade and fireworks display I've ever seen. I would love to say that we stood on Millennium Bridge and watched said fireworks with The London Eye, Big Ben, Parliament, and Westminster Abbey in the background, and I would love to describe the reflection of the fireworks in the water and all the noise that would have shook the bridge. Why can't I?
Because we were on the wrong fucking side of the bridge!
Imagine the beautiful scene which I could have just described, turn around, and imagine a rusted railroad bridge, with the fireworks behind it... Yup.
Oh well, we still had a great time. The parade was the most colorful, exciting parade I'd ever seen. It was like mardi gras, but with out all the boobies! I have no words to describe how great it was.
Yesterday about 100 students piled into two buses and took a nearly three hour drive to the city of Bath to see the Roman Bath Houses. You can check out my album on Picassa by clicking here. Once we got out of London, the drive there was beautiful. The first few pictures in the album are just of the country side, out the bus window. I have no idea where we were. There is so much empty green land out here and very few highways. I definitely like the country more than the cities. The city smells like a million different kinds of ass.
We were told that we wont live in Regent's Park again unless we're filthy rich, which is true. Hugh Grant lives somewhere next door... I'd like to stake it out. Anyway, the park is so fantastic because even though it's right in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world, it's no where near the city. People jog, walk their fluffy little dogs, read, have picnics, feed the birds... I love to sit by the lake and watch all the birds.
Sometime within the next couple days I'll put up some more pictures of the park.

Keep up the blog it gives me something to do during work.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need to think opposite, just like we drive on the right side of the road and the brits on the left - have you noticed that people walk on the left side versus the right? did you try the flake yet? I have a cousin in Bath also.
ReplyDeleteI havent had a flake... I don't like chocolate enough to pay a pound for a stick of it shoved in my icecream cone!
