1) For some reason I decided to get up at 7am on the weekend and go for a run! So happy I did though, because the sun was coming up out of the sky and it was a clear, not foggy morning, in Hyde Park! I was going to go to the gym since I'm trying to be easy on my shins, but I guess Londoners don't like to get up on weekends to exercise because the gym doesn't open until 9am. I digress! My run was a wonderful way to start the day, and just as I got back to the Centre my roommates were heading out for Sarah's birthday breakfast. We went to Cafe Diana down the street and treated ourselves to...EGGS! It was the first time I've had them since being in Europe...they were heaven. I miss my egg sandwiches I'd make every morning, so this was a taste of home! (I don't even care that I look scrubby and tired in that picture...I had to document my first egg experience)
2) 'Twas a beautiful morning so me and Sarah M. decided to get one of our assigned "London walks" done! But first we hit up the Natural History Museum...volcanoes and fossils and minerals galore! There was a big stone from Thurston County Washington! It was next to all these ones from India and...other foreign countries...anyway! It made me so happy seeing that! The walk took us past the Tower Bridge. Perfect day with the bright blue sky and sun shining!
3) We stopped in Borough Market (we realized when we were watching the first Harry Potter that it's where Hagrid and Harry walk through when they're going to Diagon Alley!) and I got Malaysian Curry! There are a million things I want to try in the market, but not enough time to get them all! This was a good choice though...and I got a little plastic container to use as a food box here in the Centre! haha Everyone makes fun of me for taking pictures of my food. Obviously it doesn't phase me though, because here's a picture of my lunch! Anyone going to Borough...try the curry!
4) Today is the day of food...me and Sarah couldn't resist going to Frog when we got off the tube near home. It's the best frozen yogurt, it tastes like cheesecake! I've decided that when I have my own house, it's going to have a frozen yogurt machine. And I just found out from my roommates that Red Mango in Utah is a frozen yogurt place just like this!
5) Me and Alyssa went to get tickets at the theater for Phantom of the Opera...but the tube was a mess today! The central line was packed and there were delays, and every other station either had trains that weren't running or they were totally closed so we spent about 2 hours trying to get from the theater back home. We transferred eight times and were about to go crazy. We were going to go to dinner with a group of people for Sarah's birthday, but we were...an hour and fifteen minutes late so we ended up going to dinner with each other. The two of us at a table with a candle in the middle...how cute. I didn't want to eat out for a third time in one day...but we were so ravenous after being stuck on the tube forever that I didn't even care. That pizza had goat cheese and rosemary and "plump" chicken and peppers, so delicious.
