From Edinburgh to Coventry to London to Paris. It's been crazy to say the least. Where to start? Well I met up with a friend of mine from Colorado that is working for a Football club in England called Coventry FC. Coventry is a small city just on the outside of Birmingham. Big Mike showed me a great time in Coventry and I even got to see a football match when Coventry City took on South Hampton. South Hampton is on the top of the Championship division and scores a lot of goals. Coventry ended up losing 4-2, but the atmosphere of the game was absolutely awesome.
From Coventry it was off to Paris, France to hang out with some friends that I had studied abroad with in London in 2007. I decided hey I'll just take the night bus there. Crazy idea! Imagine this, 10 hours of sitting in a greyhound style bus completely packed with people. In my mind I was thinking why in the world was I taking the night bus to France instead of spending the extra cash and taking the train. Whatever, I was already on the bus and I've just go to enjoy this experience. A few hours into the bus ride, a drunk man who had smuggled whiskey onto the train was super drunk and becoming obnoxious to many of the passengers on the bus. Long story short, a fight almost broke out 3 feet from me and I was absolutely terrified. Thank god nothing happened I made it to Paris at 8:11am.
Here we are Paris! I was meeting up with a girl that I was couchsurfing with later in the day so I grabbed a coffee at a mom and pop coffee shop, whipped out the ukulele and rocked away. From there made I went to the beautiful Eiffel tower. Paris is amazing the stereotype of the people being jerks isn't true at all from what I've seen. Just a few more days here and then it's off to Barcelona.
