Westminster Abbey:
We claimed to be worshippers and attempted to get in for free. The guard at the back entrance allowed it, with these sage words of advice:
"Go in, sit down, and don't look at anything."
Which we, of course, ignored. We then tried to join a German tourist group (by accident), but were deterred when we tried to return the German pamphlets. The priest then produced a walkie talkie from somewhere in his robes and started communicating with the original guard that let us in. This is further proof that the church is actually just a faction of the mafia. We got out with our skins, but not by much. Nick talked about it for the rest of the day. I'm pretty sure he feared for his life.
Halloween Day 2:
Why "day 2" you may ask? Because today is the second day that we've celebrated Halloween. Why did we celebrate Halloween two days in a row you may ask? Because we thought yesterday was Oct 31st. Which would have made today Nov 1st; the day we were supposed to catch our flight to Poland. As it turns out, today is not the day we are supposed to go to Poland. Tomorrow is the day that we're supposed to go to Poland. This we discovered after taking a three hour bus ride to Stansted Airport to catch our flight that leaves tomorrow.
So now we're in Cambridge for the night! And happy Halloween to everyone out there, no matter what day it is! I'll continue the updates in Poland. For real in Poland this time.
Quote of the day:
Kaare talking about "snakebites"
(a drink suggested to us by Marty...half lager, half cider, with a shot of cassis. Similar to snake bites, they are extremly deadly)
"It looks like a purple people eater blew a load in my cup"
and tastes just as good (I say)
Kaare replies:
"I'd love to get drunk on the purple people eaters weiner"
happy thoughts everyone!

oh wow thank you for leaving us with that wonderful image. it really brightens my day. truth.
props on getting out of the church alive. It's too bad you didn't pretend to be in the group and see how long you could hold out for. Oh well, maybe next time...
Keep the updates coming; I can't wait to read more!
Are you disparaging the snake bite? It is a great tradition among UK academics, mostly of the sophomoric bent mind you. Plus, not to be too graphic though that is hardly possible given your own description, when having imbibed too much the color upon again seeing the light of day is...
