After one night in london I jumped a train once more for another two hours to the coastal town of Portsmouth England. Portsmouth is on the southern tip of england is home to Portsmouth university and the spinnaker tower. The town also has some history dealing with its major port and also having a D-Day 1944 memorial museum. There are little monuments and memorials scattered along the boardwalk on the coast of the english channel. Im staying with a friend for the next week until I can move into my flat in london on the 6th. Being in Portsmouth gives me some time to catch up with e-mails and getting ready for London. Its also allowed for some good R&R with watching films and going out at night to a local pub with friends.
It feels like autumn in the midwest here, the sun is warm but the air is cool from the coastal winds. Its mainly cloudy through the day with on and off showers. The cooler temperatures are comforting, but I know it will be like this with the addition of more rain once Im in London.The only difference is the wind here is very intense along the cost and for tomorrow there is a rain advisory with possibility of an inch of rain. So I best enjoy the sun while I can and when it happens. I almost regret complaining about the 90 degree plus temperatures of italy a week ago.
I also have finally made it to a shop to get some food for the week, I found myself going to an AZDA. Its basically the UK version of the american wal-mart. I cant complain, its cheap and close to where Im staying. I bought mac and cheese in a can for fun, I thought it was funny and says its suitable for vegetarians on the back. It costed me .12 pounds.
