UK, 2009 - Real Ale

Had breakfast and then went to the AECOM office for the day. One of the locals came by (Jonathan) and introduce himself and offered to take us out tonight after dinner.
After work, I went camera shopping, found a camera shop and purchased my Nikon D60 with an extra 70-300mm lens.  Met up with the crew and went to a local Italian restaurant.  That one was packed and could not sit eight of us.  Therefore, we went to another Italian restaurant down the street.  They sat us in the lower level to accommodate our party of eight.  I had a calzone and ate the whole thing.  I called Jonathan just before we finished our meal, he said he would meet up with us at the hotel bar.  At the hotel bar we met up and had a few before he took us out bar hopping in the neighborhood.  We ended up going to three different bar and hung out at the White Lion real alehouse.  They had a group of locals in one part of the bar play live music, in another part of the bar a there were several game of backgammon.  The rest of us were just chatting and drinking.  Got in around 2AM.
