You want to know what the coolest and worst thing in the whole world is.. RyanAir. God, if you have ever taken a flight on this beloved airline you will know exactly what I mean. Basically, you can find deals on flights that make you wonder if the plane will crash due to a disproportionate allocation of resources, or rather if your vision is poor and it's finally time for another eye exam, because a 40 euro round trip flight from Finland to England is almost comical. But then you get on their bright blue and yellow planes and it all makes so much sense, it's a big advertisement flying 32,000 ft in the sky. They are constantly over the intercom the whole flight advertising some bullshit that no one really ever wants, and good god is it annoying. But thank you Steve Jobs for allowing me to crank up my tunes super loud. But hey, I should quit giving them free advertising.
So my dear friend Jessica just moved to Italy to be with her gentleman, and naturally we figured that meant we should meet somewhere in this continent for a trip together. Going to England seemed like a no-brainer because we had gracious and willing hosts in Cornwall, and Jessica could also see her good friend in Brighton as well. Double whammy! So an adventure in beautiful southwest England ensued again, and I was so excited!
I got to England 5 days before Jessica and made my way to Cornwall for a few days of visiting before Club Jessica reunited. The time was spent visiting with my favorite people in the world (on this side of the Atlantic at least ;-) ), and it was grand. I got to go to a lovely birthday party, which reminded me of being at Discovery Zone, for anyone back home that remembers that place! And we took a trip down near Plymouth so I could meet Dave's godfather; thankfully I woke up in time for that haha! And then Jessica arrived!! Yayayay!
Once Jessica got into town we spent lots of time exploring the coast, eating delicious food, and checking out the local pubs! It was just so good to see a face from home, especially her face :-) But I will let our pictures do the talking. And on the day before my flight back to Finland she and I spent the day in London with a tour guide from Indiana. It's weird how small the world is when you can manage to be put in touch with someone that knows everyone you do from home, but yet you never knew yourself.

| Oh and so obviously we got hair cuts.. this guy was especially thrilled, but not as thrilled as Pete and me were. |
 |
| Another day walking, and another day of him running.. all the way out on the tip of that cliff is a dot, that's Dave, running to the edge of the world. |
 |
| But we had fun taking it slow. |
 |
| More I spy the little runner.. but you can't make out his weird 5 finger shoes in these pictures ;-) |
