Portobello Market

I had heard about how amazing the shopping is at Portobello market, but no one told me how good the food is! All day we walked around just drooling over each stand. I seriously wanted to eat everything.






Yumm Paella. There were so many great smells all along the market. It would be impossible to leave without at least one meal from here.




Loved the color of these flowers




My favorite street singer of the day! And there were quite a few.

Will do.

All the the little kids obviously like him too.







Lunchtime! I walked by this Bruschetta Bar and I couldn't resist. 



So delicious! 

Nina and Julia are loving the street food too


After stuffing our faces, we stopped by an adorable smoothie place.

Julia's was my favorite


 I don't know I will be wanting to get a pedicure here. I'm not a big fan of fish nibbling on my feet.

After walking around the market, we headed back to Queen's Terrace for a much needed nap. But we all agreed every weekend we are in London we definitely need to stop by Portobello Market.

These Dogs Are Barking

Once we were all moved in and settled Julia, Nina, Alex, and I took London on by storm. We were all so excited to finally be here, that we may have over exhausted ourselves. So for everyone's entertainment, here is a collage of Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday night.


Tuesday Night
Archangel: The Moonshine of London


Tequila Shotss



Feisty Nina 

My new Russian friends. They loved teaching me bad words to say in Russian. 


Serious chat 

Nina and Julia couldn't stand to walk much further with their tall shoes on, soo we took a little pit stop on the side of the road.  

Notice: Nina's leg flailing around in the background. Classic. 


Thursday Night
Dorm Pre Game & Pub/Club hopping


This is what people look like when dancing to "Let Me Take You Out." Pretty scary. 

Y'all are pretty adorable 



Friday Night
Booze Cruise

Great view! 


There are more pictures and posts to come! xoxo

Hello, London

It has been a crazy first week in London town. For our first days in town Lou and Pete tagged along and we all explored the city. We visited the expected touristy spots like Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, & Big Ben. When night time rolled around though we stopped by a few of the local pubs. 

Hello, Parliament 

 

Big Ben

Only on #SelfieSunday


In front of Buckingham Palace



The Queen wasn't home, so there was only this one lonely guard


A long stroll through Hyde Park. I didn't realize how big it is! Definitely got a blister or two.

My favorite Pub so far


Our first Pimms! I will be getting this drink a lot while I am in London. If a sangria and a mojito had a baby, they would make a Pimms. SO yummy!


Fried Brie

Serious Food Porn 

On to the next pub- The King's Head 


Our first few days in London have been perfect! I am so anxious to explore the city even more over the next few months. And although it was sad to see Mom and Dad leave, I know they are excited for us too. xoxo
