After a weekend of the beach and topless Spanish women, I came back to London on the fourth. Not quite the same holiday in Britian. Most people did not even know what the significance of the day was. This in a country where they go crazy for Canada Day. Absurd.
That week I had a young schoolboy doing his work experience. Got to show him around. Nadine took us on a special tour to both houses. We also went to Oxford that week. It is an amazing city. A really cool collegial style as well. It is a really neat city, and we got to see two famous speakers. They are the kind of people that right the textbooks. I also got to see all the tourist attractions in the city. Also got to go to the Bodelian library, absolutely the msot amazing library I have ever seen. Simply fantastic.
That next weekend Erica came by. On Friday I took her to Parliament and showed her every inch of the place. We then went to Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace and took a boat ride on the Serpentine. We finished up with a stop at Kings Cross.
On saturday we spent all day the Portobello Market. One of the coolest things in London, and I got some awesome stuff.
This week so far has been busy. A lot of meetings I have got to go to, both for Nadine and just academic and policy lectures in Parliament. It still is a crazy cool place. I try never to take it for granted.
Well I am off to Dublin tonight and finishing my dissertation next week. Can't wait to see you all soon.
