London

Posted by: Arin

London was interesting because of the group of people we get ourselves involved with, specifically park dwellers. 

With darkness coming in and mosquitos galore, we decided to turn to warm showers for a second time. Unfortunately, the only guy who even answered his phone was in Iceland so that plan was out the window. Fortunately we met a guy on a bike in the park. He was a super high energy, 22-year-old dude who was super down to let us crash at his place. We hung out in the park with him and some of his friends before adjourning back to his place and (at his insistence) watching Man of Steel. 

The next day we decided to stay and check out London because it was raining. We ended up back at the park numerous times. Our host had a bunch of friends always hanging out there and he only lived two blocks away so that made a lot of sense. One of the guys we met there was gnarly! He's a big hitchhiker and has traveled that way all the way across Canada, as well as walked all the way to Toronto. It's always cool meeting fellow travelers, and it's funny hearing a guy like that say he couldn't do what we do. I don't know if I could do what he does...
