Northward Bound

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't written in awhile. Last time I wrote I think I was still in Switzerland. Well, now I'm in London again. I made a one night pit stop in Paris on the way up too. I do really like that city, and once again the people were wonderful. Or rather, mostly.
While I was waiting for my train to London, a girl who was petitioning for signatures drove me up the wall. She would not take no for an answer, even when I got in her face and told her to back off. Very obnoxious, and it makes you worry when they won't leave you alone that they are trying to distract and pickpocket you or something. I don't think she was, though I was very agitated by the time I finally got her to back off. The guy near me they had also harassed gave me a look afterward, which made the experience a bit more humorous. At least I wasn't alone in my irritation at her.
Nonetheless, I uneventfully made it back to London where I have been hanging out with Patrick. We spent the last couple days hitting all the different Christmas markets here, the British Museum, and he went to a show last night while I shopped for warmer clothes. Because I head to Iceland tonight.
I land at midnight, which I was concerned about momentarily because I didn't want to wander around at night. Then I realized, there are about two-four hours of sunlight there now. It is almost always night, so the hours don't really matter quite so much. I will be there for the next week or so, and then I'm off to New York. Can't believe the holidays are upon us already!
Anyway, I know this is a short post, but nothing too exciting has happened, I've spent most of the last couple days on trains. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still alive and moving!
