Days 2 and 3

Tuesday I got up at 6, and couldn't sleep anymore because I was excited to be on my way. My first stop today was in Hamilton at my Oma and Opa's place. We had coffee then went to the harbor for some lunch. As we drove there my Opa pointed out all the sights Hamilton had to offer, and told me about which buildings had been recently renovated and how Hamilton desperately needed a Dutch store.
I drove to London to visit my friend I, and ended up meeting all her roommates, most of their boyfriends, and their dogs. It was a bit of a whirlwind meet and greet, and I hope there isn't a test later. I brifly visited the UWO campus and met up with another friend, then hung out for the rest of the afternoon.
Her roommates seem to have this obsession with feeding people. I says its just with me for some unknown reason. I don't think I've gone more than five minutes without being offered SOMETHING to eat. It was difficult convincing them when I really could not eat any more food, but it was very much appreciated.
The only better thing than hostels for travelling cheaply, is couch surfing. Not only is it free, but it comes with a knowledable local tour guide and sometimes even a good home cooked meal! If you don't know anybody where you are going try couchsurfing.org if you don't find that sort of thing too sketchy...
I had a great couple days, but the play by play version sure is boring to read about... so I'll leave it at that. Until next time: stay classy San Diago.
