October 31, 2009- Stonehenge and Avebury, UK- Pete and Em's Road Trip Emily and Pete back on the road together again, it certainly felt like old times: singing loudly in the car, mercilessly swatting and poking at each other and exchanging "Anchorman" quotes amongst our playful banter. Even the half hour or so delay in literal stand still traffic was fun because we had thumb wars and of course I couldn't resist running around the car (for which I w...

October 3Ost- London, UK and staying at Pete's house I'll start this post with a true and singular pledge: one to never write another post like the last one you had to suffer though- so flat, so emotionless.

How luck...

Here I sit in Panera Bread, my beautiful big sister across from me, having just tutored her on the marvels of Skype and devoured my last bread bowl for some time now.How sad that I will be leaving behind the best chain food there is, though I hardly think I'm going to dwell on itonce I leave these doors.I did, however, eat every last bite as I have no such delusions that plane food has gone gourmet.It might be the case that the carbs will go straight to my thighs...
