Day 3: Still No Rain

As indicated earlier I didn't do anything too exciting today - mostly just wandered around in some of the commercial areas and relaxing in the park.  So far it has been sunny and hot since I got here.  I managed to get a bit of a sunburn in London in March - crazy. I've been leaving some of the more indoorsy things like visiting the Tates for when there is a less gorgeous day, but if things keep up I might need to go anyway.

Since I don't have a lot to say about my day I figured I'd provide some more information on my hostel.  It's pretty spartan (as I imagine all hostels are) with only two small washrooms and one shower room with two stalls to service 16 people.  The common area / pub is pretty nice though, and for $25 a night I can't complain.  Most of the people that are in the pub are the guests that come and go frequently but there are a few old locals who are regulars.  They mostly sit around drinking and arguing all day/evening, usually with rather salty language.  At times some of their invective is near-Shakespearean, but most of the time (especially sure their evening football matches on tv) things are pretty crude and to the point.

Still not sure what I'm doing tomorrow - will probably wait and see what the weather is like in the morning.  Since I have no pictures for today, here are a few more from yesterday.
