My Goodness, My Guinness!

Our hostel: the second most wonderful place on Earth! After Disney World, of course.

And so our final excursion begins.

The greenest place around.

These people were intriguing.

A toddler took this photo. Hence the unflattering angle.

Hobos in Ireland dress like leprechauns. Not a bad move.

This is The Temple Bar in Temple Bar. Tricky, I know.

It tastes like coffee!

I like cobblestones.

I spelled "Guinness" like such a n00b. Sorry.

Here are some windows.

A pub near our hostel.

Another hobo leprechaun.

Vanilla hot chocolate at this cafe that specialized in varieties of hot cocoa. New life plan? I think so...

All gone.

This is so much fun.

I'm going to miss pubs back in the states.

My calves are looking very muscular from all these stairs.

Slanty building and slanty stick bridge thing.

Pretty money! Of which I have none.

Carlie!!! 

Fun story about a flag that is not entirely visible in this picture. It was not supposed to be up there because of very intense conflict between Loyalists and Protestants. But someone sneak-attacked and placed it on top of City Hall!

Belfast is apparently known for its world-class linens. Who knew?

Oh, look! Another pub!

Men with furry hats!

This is the Peace Wall. Despite the fact that it divides these two opposing groups, it is somehow representative of their coming together. I don't know. Not my idea.

BANKSY IS MY FAVORITE HUMAN IN ALL OF EXISTENCE!

Viva la paz. That's what I'm saying.

Cheers, friends :)

I've never met an unhappy homeless dog

"Waterfall" by Gorky at the Tate Modern. One of my favorites of the day.

A projected work by Tacita Dean. I can't post a picture of every painting, but I also got to see "Waterlilies" and "Nude Woman in a Red Armchair." SO COOL!

Pooh's Blustery Day!

I don't remember where this was or what it is, exactly. But I like it.

There is a lot of delicious food at Portobello Market. 

Okay, I can explain this. Basically...we were wandering around late at night and I saw this adorable woman through her window and I decided to take pictures. I hope this isn't incriminating.  

Beeza, Greg, and I ventured out to a new pub on my birthday and it seemed like a good idea to blow out the candle on our table and make a wish. Unfortunately, I forgot the whole "make a wish" part and then it was just dark. 

Oh, hello, London Autumn. I like you.

Smoked salmon, cream cheese, and avocado bagels. Note to self: add this to Pinterest.

Hand in the Flower--a pub next to our house. No, I don't understand the name either.

Fosdal took us on a trip to the Imperial War Museum and I saw one of the most moving Holocaust exhibits ever.

Truth. This is a piece of the Berlin Wall.

These kids were on a field trip to the museum as well. Their teacher asked them what three items they would bring if they were being taken to a concentration camp. Answers included: ipod, laptop, cellphone, and...Finding Nemo? 

Nothing smells quite like fallen leaves.

Light posts just seem so British to me!

My birthday present: the spa!

Happiness. 

This photograph reminds me of "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper. 

Fortnum and Mason: this store has existed for more than 300 years!

One of my Comm. classes took a trip to the Freud Museum. There was a series of clock paintings. 

Baubles. I suppose they weren't all baubles. I'm just a fan of the word. Baubles.

Going out to Enoteca for my birthday dinner! Thank you to all of my wonderful friends :)

I bought "House at Pooh Corner" by British author, A. A. Milne, and the book is 60 years old. That's even older than my parents! 0:)
