Today I left on the train from new haven to get to newark. On my way I found 2 pennies on the train, 1 on the tram to newark, one penny in the airport terminal, and a dime on the bathroom floor. I picked them all up and put them in my pocket. In heathrow I found a single cent (in whatever the currency here is). 6 very small, individual, yet beautiful coins.
When I got off the train I found an oyster card lying on the ground. An oyster card is similar to a charlie card, basically a stored value way of paying for public transportation. I had just bought one and loaded some money on my own but a second one couldn have been bad.
When I finally got to see my friend Christina, who as you may know was a large part of the reason to make a pit stop through london, she regrettably informed me that she was actually going to Paris for the weekend, her first weekend outside of London sides holidays, in 2 years. Certainly not the best of luck but certainly not the worst either. Things always work out for people who have an open mind and dont let such a simple thing get them off track. I will simply stay with her roomate at their beautiful apartment in Southwest London and take forays into Camden, Shoreditch, and Brick Road, all the places with the best music and art I can think about for my four days in this great place. I'll also be able to meet up with Alijah any time to join me in these awesome adventures. because thats what its about. out of your element. enjoy the ride.
The above picture has nothing to do with anything. do you know who it is? you should. They are planning a big party on April 2nd and were all invited. Anyway. I am going to take a little nap now seeing how I didnt sleep on the plane and hopefully be able to wake up and go out later. That is the goal.(also a common pitfall of travellers) I shouldnt have to worry about transportation because the oyster card I found on the ground had 75 pounds of credit on it so london is entirely at my fingertips.
