No, I'm not coming down with some nasty virus, it's just that tomorrow Kristen and I are going to Paris! For this reason, I figure I better do a pre-trip blog and make sure I'm up to date with what I've been up to so far.
Spring is most definitely here and last week was very warm and sunny. If I was still believing half of what I've heard about London, I'd be shocked at the sun and warmth. But as it is, at this point I've decided to make my own mind up about this place. It did get a wee bit colder on Saturday for the big race between Cambridge and Oxford on the Thames, I have to admit.
Now, the race - an annual rowing grudge match between the two rival Universities takes place just down the road from us. The main event was largely missed by all present due to several factors including inebriation, the speed at which the rowers go by and these guys:
Sunday was spent walking down the road to Holland Park, which was interesting, as I never would have gone there if it hadn't been for some random article about things to see in London on Time Out. It's a smaller park tucked away between Notting Hill and Kensington, but it feels like a little slice of English countryside. It really felt like Spring with all the squirrels out and there were even a couple of rabbits hopping about.
