Trip to London

I just returned from a short trip to London to hang out with my friend and co-worker Guillermo. The highlight of the trip was a visit to Craven Cottage to take in my favorite EPL side Fulham take on the Black Cats of Sunderland.

The trip was a ton of fun, mostly because I was there with a friend, and felt a slice of what it was like to live in London as opposed to doing the touristy visit I've always done in the past.

Here is some video from the game, and a hand full of photos I selected to post to the blog.

Enjoy, and more later!



This was as the Whites took the pitch for the second half.

Fulham take the pitch, with Clint Dempsey ready to do battle


The Whites ready to go 90 mins


The Cottage from the inside


Just minutes to go as the Whites hang on to their 1-0 lead


It all over, 3 pts for the good guys as security rushes the field


A gritty Clint Dempsey leaves the pitch, no doubt thinking about how he'll dismantle England in So. Africa on June 12th
