The boys were here...

Saturday morning while Kaylin, Megan, Chris and Steve went on a walking tour of London, I went with the rest of the girls to Borough Market.. it's the oldest market in London and it was PACKED. I felt like a sardine. People were everywhere. This market only had food though opposed to Portabello that has clothes, vintage stuff, antiques and food. It was fun. I bought a cheese burger for lunch with sharp cheddar cheese which was delicious, then I bought a big loaf of fresh ciabatta bread for sandwiches at work this week. After that we walked along the river Thames and went to see the Tate again - just one floor though. After that I wasn't feeling well still so I go the tube home. Well, eventually I did. I walked to one station and it was shut down so I had to walk to another one. London is not like NYC though, there aren't subway stations on every corner here, more like every mile, mile and a half. So that was fun =(

Last night we went to Cheers London. Named after the Boston bar / tv show Cheers. There was a Red Sox jersey hanging on the wall which reminded me of home and every single place we visit here plays American music, its all we hear! So we met up with a few guys from the basement flat and then girls from flat 1 joined as well and we hung out for a while. Eventually the techno music shifted to music thats a bit easier to dance to, so everyone headed to the dance floor. It was so crowded and so much fun. We danced for probably 2 hours straight - no stops. Then we got the bus home and didn't get lost! It didn't take long either, it was great.

Today we woke up and Chris and Steve made me and Kaylin onion, cheese and red/green pepper omelets - they were great! After that we walked to Hyde Park which was PACKED today since it was 75 degrees but felt more like 85. Everyone was outside, it was gorgeous! but a bit hot. We do live on the fifth floor - all of the heat comes to us and London doesn't believe in AC. Then we stopped by Imperial to show them around and went to get food to grill tonight. The boys stayed at this hotel/hostel that was amazing. It had a back deck/patio area with a grill we could use and a trampoline and a hot tub and picnic tables, so we grilled chicken and baked potatoes. it was fantastic. Then we went to a pub to watch the end of the Germany/Poland football/soccer game which is always a fun environment with people singing and chanting constantly.. it made me excited for our football season. After all of that we came back and played card games.. it was fun! something I definitely haven't done in a long time.  Now I'm going to sleep since my throat still hurts and I'm still stuffy.. I need to NOT be sick.
