It hasn't rained quite as much as we all expected. I'd say it probably only has rained significantly one or two days a week whilst we've been here. It did rain today though; three of us went to Hyde Park to play ultimate frisbee and got caught in it. I decided to run back because I thought a little light rain was refreshing, but then it rained harder and hailed tiny pieces, and I got soaked. I can't wait for it to get warmer here, I'm tired of wearing my jacket. I need to visit Spain or Southern Italy soon and get me some warm sunshine and sandy beaches.
Four of our friends came up here this weekend to visit that are on the Central study abroad program in Spain, so we spent some time this weekend showing them around and whatnot.
A few of us are going to Ireland and Scotland this weekend. Since St. Patrick's Day is on Tuesday, I'm sure there will be celebrations for us to check out this weekend, so that is good timing. We are planning on celebratin St. Patty's day, climbing a mountain, and taking a tour of the Guinness factory. Then on Saturday we fly into Edinburgh, Scotland, and stay there for the next 24 hours. We don't have any plans in Edinburgh, we're just planning on wandering the city and seeing all the free touristy things to see.
I'm going to The Netherlands in two weekends, flying into Amsterdam and then we are taking a train right away to some other coastal town where we are staying with one of our friends' uncles' half-brother, or something of the sort. Either way, its a free place to crash.
