The people so far

Hey everyone, it's Andrew. It's about 12:30 London time, I've got a few brews in me and it's time to update everyone on the people we have encountered

Ireland -

Everyone we had met was really friendly, possibly because we were giving them money the majority of the time. Seriously though, I thought we would meet more crazy drunk's here, but wait until my update on London for that.

The Guinness Storehouse was awesome, especially the free beer and the view of Dublin. The Boar's Head tavern watching soccer with the locals was also another highlight.

As for London, first off, we went out of our way to do the right thing and tell the London customs agents that we were bringing in peanut butter and chocolate and they told us that they would taste good mixed....smart asses :). The first thing we saw leaving King's Cross station in London was a drunk couple arguing with the Bobbies, I guess that's what they liked to be called, and then continued to argue in front of us for a bit. A very nice lady asked us if we were lost after we stood around for a good minute staring at a map in the rain at 11 at night.

We went for pizza after we checked in to our Hostel. Apparently we made the right choice and picked the bar against the window so we could be mocked by a decently drunk person for a good five minutes while we ate. All four of us, including the drunk on the other side of the glass, made faces for a good while, until Stevie had the good idea of ignoring him like a five year old looking for attention, which of course of worked. Great times.

Other than the slightly rude guy selling us our subway tickets, everyone has been really nice.

Oh, and we met a couple of guys from Uraguay, one pretty drunk, the other shy, according to his drunk friend. Hopefully we will hang out with them for a bit.

I'm having trouble typing on this mini laptop so I'm calling it a night. We miss everyone and we will see you all soon.Take care!

p.s. I'm too tired to proof read to take it as it is.
