Cheers

I just don't travel enough. i want to go to europe. i have wanted to do so for quite some time now. i just have way too much that i want to do, and not nearly enough time to do it. this training for a marathon is like a part time job on top of my full time job, and not that i am complaining about it, but it really leaves little free time. i had to give up painting while i train. i can't have all my shit set up and not touch it for 2 weeks. it just doesn't work that way. anyway, back to europe, in england there is this bitchin pub walk. sounds cool. anyone want to go?

THE ALONG THE THAMES PUB WALK

"the most exciting walk in London...it can do more to interpet
the city than anything else, a real skeleton key"

7 pm on Wednesdays
from BlackfriarsTube Stop, exit 3
If you only have time for one walking tour, this is the one to go on - it's the classic London pub walk. It takes in London's last remaining galleried coaching inn, its best riverside walkway, its oldest market, the finest art nouveau pub in England, the most sensational art gallery in the world (on Fridays we pop inside for a quick look!), the church where Harvard University's founder was baptised, and an 18th-century pub that brews its own beer - plus lashings of Shakespeare, a jot of Dickens, lots of pub lore, and London's best skyline panorama. It gets better. Because there's also the recently discovered remains of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre (and its sister playhouse The Rose)...and the thrilling, thatch-roofed reproduction that's risen, Phoenix-like, only a stone's throw away. Let alone the astonishing replica of Sir Francis Drake's Golden Hinde, the ship that the great Elizabethan mariner sailed around the world over 400 years ago. Anchored there in the murky Thames, its timbers creaking eerily in the misty London night and The Globe just yards away...it's a ghost ship lost in time. Go on this walk. (Food is available.)

dude, if you wanna go to England, I have a couple of great mates there who would be happy to put you up, or show you around. My recommendations: tate modern, globe theatre, british museum, wandering aimlessly either to or from Trafalgar to the London Eye, etc. (this is Laura, btw)
