WELCOME TO LONDON!

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage3.s3.amazonaws.com/e2d34cf23e6e11e39fb622000aaa1012_6.jpg

I searched for the muffin man, to no avail.

http://distilleryimage9.s3.amazonaws.com/316f9c1e3e8611e3820022000aaa0409_6.jpg

the bells inside are called big ben, as a FEW douchey londoners would remind me
so i started calling the tower large william.
i did NOT make many friends with that.

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage2.s3.amazonaws.com/546bcb523e8611e3be5222000a1fafb5_6.jpg

this is the london eye. its a massive ferris wheel.

http://distilleryimage3.s3.amazonaws.com/83958e0e3e8611e392d022000a1fcc15_6.jpg

this is a statue in front of Buckingham Palace of Queen Victoria.
she is not amused.
neither are Londoners if you call her "Big Vicky" in earshot of them.

one of the big reasons we went was we got tickets to watch the San Francisco 49ers maul the pathetic Jacksonville Jaguars
Pronounced Jag-U-ARS
cause its more british and classy that way.

http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/8de2dc583f5411e3a8b522000a9f3cba_6.jpg

I dont remember WHEN in the game this was taken, but im sure the Jags were losing big by then.

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/e4b98c403fc011e38be122000a1fcf39_6.jpg

this is what is known as a "full english" breakfast.
i didn't get the baked beans, but it worked.

why were usa sports being held in the uk? is this obamas fault?

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage1.s3.amazonaws.com/3941b15640e911e39cb122000ab5921f_6.jpg

this was the cathedral in Bath.
you pronounce it BAAAAth, not BAH-th
cause its more POSH that way

http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/1bdd2e9640ea11e3b2aa22000aeb0f9e_6.jpg
you brits call them FLU JABS? not flu SHOTS?

http://distilleryimage1.s3.amazonaws.com/c481bc7440ea11e3b5fe22000aaa0750_6.jpg
I went here to wait for Ruby to come around, but i never saw him.

[VeritechRyan]

its more like the NFL plays 2, next year 3, games a season there.
Wembley was AMAZING to watch a game in.
the fans were such sarcastic bastards to the Jags.

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage11.s3.amazonaws.com/d5043eea41b311e3a3d522000a9f13e2_6.jpg

this is Caerphilly castle in Wales.
it was so cool

http://distilleryimage9.s3.amazonaws.com/35c3419a41b411e3978e22000a1fb9d3_6.jpg

built in the early 1100's. when i realized its 4 times older than the US, i wanted to surrender to the British.

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage9.s3.amazonaws.com/f5309e1e427811e3aca322000a1fa76a_6.jpg

what the heck is this crap? why do the welsh need it in welsh? barely anyone spoke it
and its easier to ask for PAPER TOWELS.

http://distilleryimage6.s3.amazonaws.com/8e5561a2430411e3a73722000a1f9317_6.jpg

OOH JESUS WHY?

http://distilleryimage8.s3.amazonaws.com/f379e7fe440a11e3b22122000a1fc95b_6.jpg

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage0.s3.amazonaws.com/15127ba844db11e383b822000a9f124c_6.jpg

i need a job like this

http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/39c4579644db11e38b4622000a9e2975_6.jpg

[VeritechRyan]

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage1.s3.amazonaws.com/4425a7f245b311e3865a22000a1d2005_6.jpg

Wenceslas square. home of meat on a stick, random deserts, a mcdonalds with beers, and the scene of some guy setting himself on fire due to communism.

now, onto Wales

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/59a906b6464211e3aaa822000a1fb0dd_6.jpg

welcome to Wales, and "big pit" a massive Coal mine the Welsh used to get coal for their british overlords.
it was a TOUCH windy that day.

http://distilleryimage6.s3.amazonaws.com/34277bea464511e3871d22000a1f92db_6.jpg

we went to a brewery later.
bad idea to give us a SELF-GUIDED tour, cause i do things like this.

[VeritechRyan]

http://distilleryimage0.s3.amazonaws.com/9e97b1c0480711e39d0b1262e10b68c1_6.jpg

then, because we are geeks, we went to Cardiff to the Doctor Who experience.

http://distilleryimage4.s3.amazonaws.com/13feca70480811e3a52922000a9f3934_6.jpg

we paid extra to go on the actual TARDIS set.

[VeritechRyan]
