London Day 5

Yesterday we had the day off so us girls went out to the London Bridge area. We ate at a Mediterranean place called Troia that was really good. I had the Feta Cheese Pasta. Yes, I ate the tomatoes like a big girl. There was so much cheese that it didn’t really matter, lol. Anyway, we then went around looking for a place where some of us could exchange our money. Took us forever but we found a place at Waterloo Station. From there we went to try and get on the London Eye but found out that would take forever. So after heading back in the direction of the London Bridge station area, Lorin and I parted from the group to head back as they were looking to find a place to at least get a drink since we’d come to the area and done nothing but eat. I don’t really like drinking before six. I just don’t. And my feet were tired from all the walking, so we went to head back. Of course…the Northern Line was off service, but we navigated our way through the Bakerloo I think it’s called and onto the Victoria to get to Warren St. I basically did nothing for the rest of the day. I finished my play review, but I had written most of it by that time so it took me about 2 minutes. Everyone was doing homework so I was sitting in my room with nothing to do. Taking a break, I guess, Andrew and Colin decided to get a drink so I went with them and tried Pimm’s on the recommendation of Katie Horton. Still a Kopparberg person, but it was good. If I can’t get my hands on what I want, it isn’t a sad second. And I get a little fruit to try and be healthy! Haha…yeah…no…a slice of orange and some strawberries isn’t going to cut it is it? Ah, well.

I also forgot to mention something funny in yesterday’s post. About the day before yesterday! I was walking out of the Pharmacy and waiting at the curb for the walking light to be green when I guy on a bike stops in the turn lane and just stares, smiling at me. You know how it is when it’s so awkward because you know they are looking so you HAVE to look at them? Yeah. So when I did, he smiles even wider and starts nodding and says “Hey, you’re beautiful”. I had to stop myself from bursting out laughing as I murmured a thanks and dashed (with a limp) across the street. Once I was away from him, I started laughing at it. It amazed me that at my lowest England moment he said that. I had worn my most lazy clothes. Black sweatpants, white tank top, black jacket, and grey/blue sneakers and I was limping and I got complimented. That was an Ego boost if there ever was one.

Anyway, today is the Macbeth play with Billy Boyd (from Lord of the Rings (he played Pippin) as Banquo so I am SUPER excited. I may pick up more souvenirs from The Globe tonight, but we shall see. I’m looking forward to tonight. Once again, there won’t be pictures because it isn’t allowed form inside the Globe, but here are some pictures from yesterday’s adventure. My favorite is the one of the Big Ben I got without the building getting in the way.
