If you happen to be checking this blog, you know that I haven't been in the cheeriest of humors the past week. I am happy to report that that has improved somewhat and I won't be a total grouch in 11ish hours when I land in Vancouver.
I have to admit, I'm glad it's over. I'm not sad at all to be going home. This trip has been more of a trial in many ways than I anticipated and it has drained me. There are a lot of reasons for this, some internal, some external but I have learned lessons I didn't necessarily need to learn. But meh, I'll do a full on post morten when it's really post mortem.
Right now I'm at London Heathrow, paying a ridiculous fee for Internet but I thought one last post from Europe was in order. Brussels was definitely a two day city. I really only spent one day seeing it and feel like I more or less saw what I wanted. So on my last day I went to Bruges and walked around there. It's beautiful. Really I went because I had an extra rail day.
London was great actually, because the people I hung out with were awesome. All a bunch of Aussies and South Americans living in London. So I saw London more as an expat than as a tourist. I didn't much like it as a tourist the first time around so that was a welcome change. I went to the Canada Day stuff and also watched some of the Europride Parade. Yesterday we went to Wimbledon but there was no tennis so we sat in the park and later on had a barbecue. I spent my last night in London walking on the back of an Australian. Weird huh? I'll post more when I get home.
Yay home.
