England, part four.
September 9, 2010 [continued]
After lunch at the London Bridge tube station, we walked around the corner to the London Dungeon, where a bunch of friends from the Muse message board were waiting, including Olly and Chris, who you may remember had scarfed down platefuls of spaghetti the previous night.

After that crazy, restless night, we were zombies. Not only did we have a night with little to no sleep, but a few of us were already sick, too. I was still feeling barfy, had a slight fever, and the battle my lymph nodes were fighting were making my head and neck hurt. It’s funny, though, because you can’t even tell by the photos!

Here I was in London and I was already sick, exhausted from the 20-hour journey and lounging about on Facebook.

I only spent a week in England, so I didn’t enjoy my life in the rain—though it did rain for most of the trip. And I didn’t exactly tell my favorite band Muse that they were my muse… because a) the odds of meeting them again were close to nil and b) that’s just stupid cheesy like the song that quote came from. But back in September, those were two lyrics that occasionally went through my head as I traveled half a world away from Hawai‘i to England.

This post is LONG overdue. Before I write about London, I’m getting this out of the way first. This post is about the “Muse phase” of my Texas trip back in March. I told you it was LONG overdue.
