Jan 20: American Football Sunday

View from my snowed-in window.

Today started off, well cold. And it stayed that way. Also it was very slippery. Why? Snow - and lots of it too! It is easy to tell it doesn't snow very often in London, because, well the roads and pathways were just awful and some of the local Londoners have way too much fun with it. Big icy slush watch-your-every-step messes. Needless to say, it looked to be a day to stay in.

I spent most of the day planning/booking a (somewhat) cheap 8 day trip to Florence and Venice with Katie during a week we have off soon (Feb. 8-Feb. 16). Most of the big things (plane tickets, hostels, buses, etc) are in order and booked...it's pretty exciting to be able to do stuff like this! I am thankful and lucky for these kinds of opportunities.

Football, Friends, and Food- even in London!

However, planning can make you pretty hungry. And on Championship Game Sunday back home, what better way then to go a good ol' fashion American BBQ joint and watch football with some friends (Dave, Allegra, and Katie) from back home?

Burnt Ends and Pulled Pork. I love me some BBQ!

Anyway, as you know by now, the 49ers beat the Falcons. I'm pretty excited for them, particularly Randy Moss, who is probably my all-time favorite player and has a chance to finally win a Super Bowl. I'm really hoping the Patriots don't make it (even if it might be fun to watch them lose) because they're cheaters and don't deserve anything and this is their QB.

Anyways, I'm pretty tired and might soon go into a food coma - this is what 4+hrs in a BBQ house does to you. Luckily, I have class at 1pm and very close tomorrow.

Til then- Cheers!
