The Lost Boys
Welcome to our blog! We will be writing about our adventures throughout Europe over the next half year (or longer). In case you read our title and thought "Lost Boys, wtf?" The Lost Boys are Peter Pan's followers who do not want to grow up. In order to stop the process of growing up and avoid responsibilities the Lost Boys escaped to Never Never Land. In our case Europe is our Never Never Land, a place to escape from growing up, from getting jobs, from becoming real people and having a shit ton of fun along the way!

Mark is the bobble head of the infamous Mark Bradford, father of the Bradford family. The Bradford family took me in under their wing while I lived in Indiana and so I thought I would take a piece of the along with me on this trip.

So if you find yourself being a grown up with responsibilities and are bored at work or at home, your escape is only a click away!

Thanks for reading!

Try new things right?

Well yesterday was another fun filled day in London!  The weather was actually very nice and there was sun!  Of course with the sun Jamie and I busted out our sunglasses, only to figure out Londoners do not wear sunglasses at all!  Once again we looked like a yankee tourist.  Just a side, but we have been walking EVERYWHERE.  Today we walked the Thames river walk on the southbank, all the way to London Tower and Tower Bridge (If you would like a reference, our hostel is right by Victoria Station).  All of the buildings are unique and very cool, now if only Uncle Dane were here to tell us what the hell we were looking at! 

London is the most expensive city I have ever been in.  The conversion right now is killing us!  It is hard to look at prices and not think "oh only 10 pounds" when in actuality it is like $16 US.


Trying New Things
-Went to the tower of London tour...mom sorry to say but I was disappointed.  Although seeing the family jewels was pretty cool.

-Ate fish and chips...and of course we were looking for the best deal so we settled for a place with 5.99 FNC.  I guess you get what you pay for!  The fish had bones all over the place, so idk if we will be eating them anytime soon again!

-Bought a bottle of wine at the Crusty Pipe in this cool open cafe area mall, where there were street performers playing classical music and others singing opera.  Enjoyed doing that, got pretty toasted for the walk back as well which always makes things go quicker!

-Meet up with a friend who is currently attending school over here and ended up going to a club...did i mention the name of the club was G-A-Y??  Yes we got talked into going with her group of friends to a gay bar...try new things right?  Well unfortunately when we got to the front of the line at the door we got rejected, i still don't really know how or why, I guess their straightdars were going off or maybe it was fate.  Then we just went to a pub near by and had a smashing time.  Woke up extremely late this morning to say the least and had to take the tube back to our place.
Well that is all I have time for off to Stamford Bridge!
