30 Games in 30 Days – Day 18
“What game has your favorite theme?” See people, this is what I’m talking about. Left to my own devices, I come up with a stupid question like this one. Let me quickly make one more plea for visiting and commenting on the “Request” page (link in the sidebar). I am flying back to Chicago this morning, and have sort of, kind of, arbitrarily decided that landing at home and waking up the next morning will be my cut off for submissions.

This was our method to get to

We have been in London for about 24 hours (if you count the hour-and-a-half that we spent going through customs, when technically they hadn’t let us in yet). This is a vacation, with some research on the side. I’m getting subsidized to be here by my school, so that I can produce a documentary on the London Blitz (and later the French Resistance – Paris in 4 days!). I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures and experiences here, now that many of my friends are in the habit of stopping by. If you are here for the
