I almost managed to write another blog within a week - hope you are all proud!
I have had the most crazy and fun week since I last blogged. I continued my road trip into Charlottesville, VA (home of the University of Virginia) where I said farewell to my friend Neo (sniff...). This was the beginning of one of the largest weekends of my life!
Thursday afternoon had me waiting for Davar, Birney and Woody to drive in from DC. I managed to attract the most strange person to come and sit next to me in the bagel shop in possibly the whole of Virginia and after some very interesting conversations regarding Obama, the youth of today, Australia and a large range of conspiracy theories, my knight in shining armour (Woody) came a rescued me and swiftly took me off to the pub for a beer! The drinking did not stop there... Basically when we wern't at a pub drinking good beer, or a winery tasting good wine and eating amazing cheese or a restaurant eating delicious meals we were driving around in a convertible, swimming at big lakes or watching the horses race by - heaven!
On Sunday I caught a lift back to DC with Woody, Davar and Birney and went to stay with Liz who I lived with at Wesley for a semester. I spent 5 nights in DC and did all of the touristy things like the white house, national mall, lincoln memorial, capitol hill and georgetown water front. I also managed to get lost in a park in the middle of the city with Liz (Liz's flatmate) and Jack, find Pandas, otters and zebras at the zoo, get lost on the metro and end up in ghetto land and experience hashing (google it... basically lots of running and drinking of beer).
Now I am at Jim and Twinks in NY after a quick tour of the city this afternoon and am super super excited because I get to see Katie and Alice tomorrow in Canadia!
Will keep you posted on the next adventures in the land of the maple leaf...
