Fun and Friends in August!

The month of August was quite busy for Jesse and I as several of our friends and some relatives of Jesse's came to visit. Our first visitor was Meghan, my classmate since Kindergarten and former university roommate. For 3 days Jesse and I entertained Meghan, taking her down the Thames, to the Tower, to a performance at the Globe and to Hyde Park and Victoria Park to cheer on the Canadians participating in the Olympics.[--Colleen] Next came Gerritt, my brother-in-law, with his friend Matt. They had booked a flight to London only two weeks before hand, but we made it work within our schedules. They stayed in my hostel, The Great Eastern, and we had a grand old time showing them around the city. We took them around to all the neat pubs, and even biked through the city during rush hour to meet Colleen at work.[--Jesse] In between our friends’ visits it was also our friend, Nadine's, birthday and so we celebrated by having a grand ol' time at the pub with our friends, Tiffany and Annie, and we even met two Irish guys in town for the weekend. :)
