The 2000 Europe Trip

The 2000 Europe Trip

A friend, Adrienne, was getting married and I was not going to miss it. So I packed up my bag and hit the air for a trip to see Europe and Adrienne's wedding. And write a pointlessly long and aggravatingly exact account of absolutely everything that happened while I was there. Though I was now an experienced traveler, I was still and idiot, so things had to go well.

Day 1- London I fail to get lost, but do get some sleep.	Day 8- Tour of Dublin Weirdness starts early and stays with me.
Day 2- On to Oxford I go to Oxford and again fail to do anything wrong.	Day 8- More Dublin Church and beer.
Day 2- Oxford I wander around and look at stuff.	Day 9- From Dublin through Belfast to Stanraer The Battle of the Boyne and how it is leading to lung cancer.
Day 2- Oxford Continued A museum with a glass roof and pontifications on cricket. After that, booze.	Day 9- The Longest Train Ride Ever I hate my fellow man.
Day 3- Back to London I walk so much, I think an abandoned barge is attractive.	Day 9- ScotRail Makes Amends Beer cheers me up.
Day 3- Woking I eat dinner and get laughed at.	Day 10- Back to London I learn that Britain has a very broad idea of what constitutes "British".
Day 4- Adrienne and Ian’s Pip, Pip, Jolly Good, Can-Do Wedding Bloody brilliant!	Day 11- Thomas Becket Sit down, shut up, and learn something.
Day 5- Adrienne, Ian and their stash of loot Adrienne and Ian open presents. We stare at them.	Day 11- A Little Chaucer and a Lot of Canterbury A castle, a church, a museum, and a big f-ing Cathedral.
Day 6- More London We stand outside things and learn there was a man named Shakespeare.	Day 11- Last Night in London I drink, I empty a room, I worry a waitress.
Day 7- To Dublin I ride a boat. They didn't make me wear a lifevest.	Day 12- Lindsay I show how to really turn off a woman.
Day 7- Dublin Children swear and I don't have to tip anybody.
