Trust me, It'd be impossible to tell you everything.

From Feb 15th to Feb 25th, We went on our first "Travel Break." Essentially we had 5 days as a group in London, and 5 days on our own to find our way home. I chose to go to Dublin for a couple of days, then to Paris for the next couple days. 

As a result, there's no way to tell you everything I did. Thus, I ask that you look at the pictures in my Flickr Account and allow me to simply tell you the most memorable memories. Think of it as that wild drunk night that you can barely remember - it was fun and amazing and all you can really pick out were those bright flashes of recollections. 

Note to family: The above was a metaphor - It may be legal to drink, but i'm still responsible.

Note to Future Employers: The above was a metaphor - aren't you glad I can use metaphors?

Thursday Night- arrive at the County Hotel. Randomly assigned rooms - they are all tiny and we share communal bathrooms on each floor. Emerson really went all out for us... 

*FLASH*

Friday: Museum visits, Buckingham palace and Donor Kabob. All quite nice. But the real fun was at night, when I saw We Will Rock You - a London-based musical centered around the music of Queen. Who saw the lead guitarist of queen play the solo to Bohemian Rhapsody? THIS GUY. 

The story itself was horrible, but the music and choreography was great. 300 years in the future when music is banned is just a horrible, horrible premise. 

*FLASH* 

Saturday Night: Dropkick Murphys concert with Jacki, Deven, Lippi and Linnea. SO GOOD. One of the greatest concerts i've been to - London has a huge punk scene. 

*FLASH*

Sunday: The Tate Modern - saw some amazing pieces and others that shouldn't be considered art. I'm sorry, but a 8 foot by 10 foot canvas painted all one shade of grey is not artistic. Neither is a single florescent light bulb hanging on a wall. They are simple decoration, at best. 

*Blur of fun and excitement*

Monday: Some amazing indian food, and later a walking tour of London's SoHo - we saw Paul McCartney's Assistant! Or... well, whoever works the front desk at his office. Also saw where Jimi Hendrix played his last show.

Tuesday: The British Library, home of the Magna Carta and various other amazing documents. Last time i got this excited for a Library, i was 7 and checking out over a dozen "young adult" novels at a time.  Then we hopped on a plane and flew to Dublin...

but more about that tomorrow. It's getting pretty late.
