The Jouney Continues...
I am back in London tonight with a cazy-loud hostel lounge envionment
aound me at the Geneato hostel o London. We had a lovely expeience
checking back in hee (we stayed hee o a couple nights last week),
waiting o about an hou while they cleaned one o ou two ooms. Oh well...
Esthe's o sleeping, and I'm typing away on he iBook and moving laundy.
Can you tell that he keyboad lost the lettes "", "", and the numbe ""?
Oh well, doesn't bothe me at all...Since New Yok, we lew to
Toonto then London, touing aound the city itsel, seeing the Bitish
museum, Hyde Pak, Piccadilly Cicus, Buckingham Palace, Westminste
Abbey, Big Ben, and lots o the Undegound subway system. It's a geat
city - I've ound it to be clean and iendly with handy Vegetaian
Paadises that oe awul Indian ood and teible sevice. The histoy is ich,
and I keep inding wondeul views and chaming buildings all the time.With
lots to see in the county, though, we kept moving, visiting Cantebuy
and the Cantebuy cathedal then on to Dove o a bit o the white clis and
a cool Dove castle with some inteeseting undegound tunnels used in wa o
hundeds o yeas. Hopping back to London and on to Bath since the bus to
Salisbuy o Stonehenge was ull, I had a little bit o a view into the hot
spings without spending any money and an inteesting hostel expeience
thee as well.Then on to Statod-upon-Avon, Shakespeae's
bithplace. At least that's the claim, I don't necessaily think that the
peson immotalized in that city wote the plays, but it's inteesting
nonetheless - at poved to be ou geatest lodging expeeience with a cute
little B&B that a 6 yea-old gave us a tou o. So that was last
night. Today we olled into Wawick and ocked the Wawick Castle, which
kept making me think o my paents and how much they would both ADOE
going to it. Chis, too. And Joe, Beth Tina, and Zoe. Especially Joe and
Chis, and paticulaly, Beth, Tina, and Zoe.I watched a eal, live
tebuchet launch a laming ball a quate mile. That's cool. Plus they'e
all done up in costume, speaking these unny Bitish accents - making not
so unny to them, though. The bus was an hou+ late, but we'e back in
London, and the ba has dumped its patons into the lounge. This guy to
my let is smoothly using the ench language with geat success...and
moving close.Pictue tally? I have 3000 pictues that I would
conside "keepes" and would post hee o want to save a paticula memoy.
But I've been uthless, eeling quite poud that I copped that numbe down
om the 8000 pictues that I've taken on the tip. Beoe I let, I
ovenighted some equipment that has made my lie easie and the pictues
bette. When I get back, the stu that I couldn't ovenight will be
waiting o me, and I miss it aleady! Oooh, they'e alone on the bean bag
chai now. Opps, the language switches to English now that the
Bit/Aussie is back. Hose.In the moning, in a ew hous, actually,
we'e o to the noth and will be moving he into he dom by the next day.
The hose has an even cute gil with him now. Wow, this is unny. Bean bag
chais ae multiplying. Since GB memoy cads ae so cheap, eveyone should
get one...i you'e device handles it - buy the Tanscend GB at NewEgg
today...i I could, I would link to it:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820163159 I you go
to a stoe, you would get 1/8th o the memoy o 58 bucks.Ou ench
iends ae gone - they let when he got a bloody nose. Hmm, inteesting
stategy. The even cute Aussie gil is back, with he oiginal annihilated
guy. Talking to an annihilated Canadian. I will quickly send this enty
now and ty to upload as many pictues as I can beoe my money uns out!
Enjoy my iends!

'ay Nik! Ase goota eeah from ya. We missun ya back 'ere in aStates. Keep 'avin foon na, yeeh?
yeaaahhhhh....sweetie, this was hilarious, but i might wait until you put the missing letters back in. i think you typed that long of an entry without them just to prove you could
and yes, i have a mystery cat. i was showing mandy what the precious little kitty looked like
don't you ever read my blog?!?! there was an entry about that like LAST WEEK! sheesh.
actually, losing the "r" and "f" keys gives the post a unique accent. Maybe we should all dump two letters of our choice. How about the letters Q & P? It uite ossibly could be retty funny.
I like the London pic. Has Esther told you about her email dialog with the Arch Bishop of Canterbury? That's worth a post or two.
Wow, that was challenging to read. The pictures are great!
It's okay that you don't have any r's. The British don't pronounce them anyway.
fun times! love the cantebury pic!
I'm still upset about my keyboard failing me at this critical juncture. ::sigh:: However, I love the panoramic picture and can't wait to have some time to sit down and actually go through all these photos you've taken. Perhaps in Durham - which we'll finally get to see tomorrow! =)
fun to read the entry, albeit a little more time consuming:) My favorite picture on this post - Cantebury. Love to you both!
Dude man, I have NO cyborgs to pester. We need you back!
Yes, I am posting a comment, it has been a while since I've been on xanga. all the photos look great Nick!, it seems like you have been reading up on the ins and outs of light!! Give me a call when you get back to the states...
haha i was wondering why you were spelling everything weird..
Its amazing how the internet community is actually quite close knit. You feel like you know the person so well! And in some cases you actually do.
I'm glad u had a great time in Auckland. Just wondering what tourist-y things u did in Auckland tho. I've only been in NZ for afew years now, so am just curious.
We're actually in spring at the moment. But if u know Auckland's weather, u would know that we have days where you would think its winter yet again.
take care.. have fun!
peace,
smyn
oh wow sky diving? i'm too chicken to do that and besides my nose bleeds easily ;p
I havent been to the south island yet but i heard Queestown is really beautiful. NZ is a great place. But a bit too quiet sometimes. Auckland isnt too bad in that respect. When i first came here i was suprised to see most shops closing before 6!! But i guess, there's better things to do than shop eh? (In reality i am actually suffering from withdrawal from going cold turkey. i havent shopped in ages *sobs*)
the weird spelling was referring to ur entry and the missing letters. ;p
u must be having fun travelling around the world. where have u been so far?
peace,
smyn
btw, how did u get the london pic to look like tt?
omg i ramble so much. look at the length of my comments *Shocked*
Gahh why do you get to go to these sweet places you're living my dreams. *sniff*
Yess the painting I posted is the original. I'm using black, gray, and white pastels. If I can ever get a pic of it I will put it up. Yea long arms might help but I dont really have long arms so I guess I'm screwed!! lol. I went to holy hill today and took really gorgeous pictures...you'd have a fun time there taking pics. You take the coolest pictures seriously.
Yea the balloon trick was pretty cool...cept the balloons didnt really fall on top of her. ah well. it was fun anyways. see yaa
oh yea did you know I'm learning the waltz with joe...that should be interesting...0_o
Welcome back. How did you get that London pic to come out like that? My favorite is definitely Cantebuy. Hostels are always an interesting experience. Hey, make sure you email me that pic of us in NYC. Peace!
