My Holiday Diary: Trip to Gainesville (Day 5)


Me, Jack, Andrew, Thurston

We'd stayed the night at Andrew's House, so came back to T's place, then set out for Gaineseville that afternoon. Gainesville is one of the biggest university towns in the state, and Karin, Andrew's sister, goes to 'school' there. G'ville also used to be the hot place for punk bands in Florida, but that seems to have died down now, which is a shame. We 4 lads went out with Karin and a flatmate of her's to the Swamp, where there were $4.95 pitchers of Budweiser and Coors (that's about 4 pints for £2.50, and not at all unusual here). Food was good, again - this time I had a blackened Mahi Mahi fish.

After that, we all walked Karin's flatmate home, before heading out with a different flatmate to a big pool hall.
