So I assume because I said the weather was good, that is why when I got to London it was raining and cloudy! I didn't do as much walking and sight seeing as I intended because of the rain. I did take the Tube to the Embankment station and walked around and got to look at the Eye and Big Ben. I took some pictures, but because it was raining and not very bright either, they really didn't come out very good at all. After that I took the Tube to Monument and walked over and saw the London Bridge from a distance. All I had was my pea coat, and it was pretty soaked at this point! I did find some dinner at an insanely crowded place called The Ship. Bangers and mash hit the spot with a pint of Fuller's London Pride.
The Euston Tap was pretty awesome. It's a tiny little building, but they had a great selection. They had a good combination of good British beer and imports from the US and Europe too. The cooler of American bottles was rather impressive, with around 10-12 bottles from Port/Lost Abbey, Goose Island, Victory, and others. They were very expensive though, so I resisted taking any home with me. I did buy a bottle of Mikkeller Ris a la M'ale, which is a cherry kriek of sorts, should be very interesting.
Well I can see the sun again out my windows, so I'm going for a run to Willen Lake again. Not too sure what else I will do today until the State game at 7, maybe some laundry, maybe some vacuuming of my room, maybe something else!
