Sunderland vs. Fulham
On Friday, in between all the million things I was doing, I took my parents to South Kensington to meet my RBI bosses Cameron & Drew & my fellow intern Kylie. Just popped in real quick but I was really happy to be able to introduce everybody. I also took them to Eve’s Cafe right on Great Russell where we went about 3x a week. The owners chatted with my parents about me which was adorable. For dinner, we went to the fancy Montague hotel the next street over for a traditional British feast!
Saturday, everyone had a million different flights to catch, whether going home to the States or Hannah & Jamie who are off to Amsterdam & Germany, Andy & Curtis who stayed in England, Scotland, Belgium & Germany. I schlepped across the street to my parents hotel room then turned in my keys mid-afternoon. I stored my 2 huge suitcases at St. Pancras, I’ll pick them back up on my way to Heathrow in a week.
Dad is a big soccer nerd so he wanted to check out a Premier League match. I have been rooting for Chelsea (don’t know why) here but tickets were kind of pricey & we were always traveling. So my mom, dad & I went to see Sunderland take on Fulham at Craven Cottege. We found a Fulham-supporting pub (Clint Dempsey plays for them, they like Americans!), met some fans & walked to the stadium. Great seats in the die-hard fan section (yay Mike!) and funny chants. Although the game ended in a draw, it was still exciting & another thing to check off my London Bucket list!
Today, we’re on our way to Belgium – a rare European country none of us have been to. Mom & Dad are planning on winging it – they haven’t bought the EuroStar tickets yet. They should know better but hey, what do I know. I’m already experiencing major MadHouse withdrawal & can honestly say I am as excited to see my London friends back at JMU as I am to see everyone else. On to Brussels!
