A Friend! May 25, 2008

Today my childhood friend Danielle came down from Milton Keynes to hang out with me. Whipee! I’ve been friendless since coming here, so it was refreshing to have someone to direct my comments to that isn’t a teddy bear. Though, as you can see from the pictures, Peaches was still present. We both went down to Buckingham Palace to see if the queeny was home. If she was, she was being very rude and not coming down to greet us. We then strolled over to Hyde Park (the real one, not the trendy part of Austin), which is lovely. I tend to find parks dull and boring, but Hyde Park had a gorgeous rose garden and it smelled wonderful.

We then walked around until we found somewhere to eat that both of us could afford, and ended up chowing down at a tavern. It was delicious. Danielle ordered nachos for us, and- I swear to God- it was a plate of doritos with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. But nachos nonetheless! Yummy. I also ordered a cider called Bulmers, and I’m not sure if you can tell from the photo, but I think it’s a cider made for giant people. I, ladies and gentlemen, consumed a drink containing 580ml.

We then strolled over to Leicester Square and Covent Garden, where all the West End plays are showing. It was interesting to see the Sunday evening theater crowd wondering around, and it reminded me a lot of New York.

Yay for knowing someone!
