So this past week I had the good fortune of being back in London, and I’m currently typing this as I sit on my plane back to the States. (Note: It took me about a week and a half after I got back to actually post this.) While a week is hardly sufficient time to […]

Yesterday was my last Sunday in London. I slept in a bit, took a shower, grabbed my camera and ventured into town. I ended up down near Big Ben and took a nice stroll along the South side of the Thames. I stumbled upon County Hall which was hosting a Star Wars exhibit that I […]

I’m sitting here in my flat in Ealing, which is a town within London. The flight was long, but good, and I really enjoyed that they had video on demand on a screen in each seat. They even had TV shows, and they had my favorite episode of How I Met Your Mother (“Game Night”). […]

Welcome to the Blog. I’m going to use this as kind of a general way of keeping in touch with people while I’m over here in London. It’s also my fourth attempt at a blog, so we’ll see how well this actually works. Currently, I’m sitting in Philadelphia International Airport waiting for my flight. Very […]
