Americans!!

When I was searching for places to watch American football in the UK, I discovered the message board of an American Expat meet-up group. Basically you join this free group and people organize events all over the city to come and meet other American Expats. So last night I went to a Mexican Food meet-up!! If you recall, I was missing some good mexican food and this was supposed to be one of the better places to get it in London. It was pretty good. The nachos, chips and guacamole were good. My burrito seemed like it was missing a something. I can't put my finger on it, I think it might have needed more cheese or some kind of sauce- it was no Chipotle or Burrito Loco, but I enjoyed it.

At first I wasn't really in the mood to go. I had to figure out how to get to a new area of the city, just after I was getting so used to my typical routes. But I'm glad I went, I met lots of interesting people as well. There were probably 25 or so people there, but I spent awhile talking to 5 or so. One of the girls was even from Cincinnati! I was surprised to meet someone else from the same city so it was nice to chat with her. At the end of the night a few of us exchanged phone numbers and email addresses and talked about getting together for dinner soon. I'm looking forward to more events in the future.
