London

Ryan has one of the coolest locations in London. To walk to the tube (subway) he walks along Tower Bridge, then past the Tower of London, two of my favorite things to look at in the city.

We had quite an ordeal before we saw them again this weekend. After spending Thursday night and most of Friday in Belfast, we were set to fly out to London. Unfortunately, EasyJet pushed our flight back from 9:35 to 11:35 p.m. By the time we actually lifted off, it was close to midnight. Even taking a shortcut to speed up the flight put us in at 1 a.m. Our bags came off at 1:20. The last train into the city from Gatwick Airport was at 1:35 a.m. We made it with a few minutes to spare. A half-hour trip, then found a night bus toward Ryan's. It didn't actually make it round until 3 a.m., then we had to cap the night with a short cab ride before arriving at our destination at 4 a.m. Ryan was very nice about it all, and Saturday we gorged ourselves on a Thanksgiving dinner put on by the LSE American students living in his hall.
