St Patrick's Day

Being able to sit first class was quite wonderful. I was served with actual glasses and real silverware, and then there was the dessert tray. And of course, being able to fully stretch out to sleep is pretty nice.

From the airport, I took the underground into the city and to my friend Rachel's apartment. I explored the area while she had class, seeing St Paul's Cathedral, the River Thames, and even the ruins of a Roman wall from 200 AD.

Rachel and I got savory pies for dinner! And being St Patrick's day, we looked for some live Irish music. We found some, but the pub was so crowded, so we didn't stay for long. We soon hit the hay, and after 10 hours of sleep, I'm still dragging a bit. Even a 4 hour time change can take its toll.
