London – Paris (via Chunnel)
Last night we headed for the carnival at around 10:00. On our way we noticed that most people were headed in the opposite direction. We found out that in the UK people do all of their partying early! (Almost all of the bars/pubs close at around 10:00. The carnival was over by the time we reached the area. Even so, there were still a lot of people in the area. We found our way to a street party outside of a closing bar. We spent about an hour hanging out and watching people dance around. Strangely, it was mostly guys dancing with guys (no it was not a gay bar…). We then headed back to our hostel. We were excited to find that many people were hanging out at the hostel’s bar. We decided to stay up a bit longer and chill with some fellow travelers. I mostly hung out with several Americans. There were a couple of guys from Philadelphia who told us how much they enjoyed Spain. There was also a 6’4’’ girl (who’s cousin is in the NBA – Monty Williams) who goes to the Culinary Institute of America (CIA). Lastly, there was an old man who happened to have a box of sandwiches. After explaining telling me how he had traveled Europe his entire life (this was his 28th trip to the area) he offered me a sandwich. I have already realized that if there is one rule in traveling the world it is this: never turn down free food!
This morning we slept in. It was just after noon by the time we left the hostel. After grabbing some food we headed to Westminster to hang out until it was time get on the Chunnel. We relaxed in the grassy area between Big Ben and Westminster Abby.
I am writing this from my seat on the train known as the chunnel. I am excited because we just went underground. The next time we see the sun we will be in France! The train is surprisingly nice. I like the seats a lot because they face one another and each group of passengers has their own table. B and I watched a few episodes of entourage as we cruised under the sea...
Au revoir!
PS - I just did the post for yesterday also...check it out too!

Just so you know...Monty Williams is not playing in the NBA. Oh no. He has gone on to bigger and better things. Ala being an assistant coach for the great Portland Trailblazers. Tell her I would like to mate with her for the purpose of breeding future professional athletes that are trained to do one thing...dunk on faces.
