After class Thursday, we happened to see a cute little food
market right outside our classroom. After side-stepping some Marxist student
groups, we found the most delish pork sandwiches ever, and you can guess by the
title, it did indeed have two patties on the most perfect bun in the world. We
grabbed some raspberries and had the cutest little picnic in the park with the
other co-eds who attend London University College.
We next
visited the British Museum, which I have been excited about since my fourth
grade GATE teacher introduced me to their massive collection which is all
displayed on their website (As Bumper in Pitch Perfect would say: “Nerd
Alert!!”) We saw some sweet Egyptian relics, including Cleopatra, the Rosetta
Stone, and amazing Greek sculpture. I think the most fastinating part about the
British museum is that most of their collections they just decided to plunder
off the people they conquered. Whoops.
We also headed to "The Monument" which commemorates the great fire that burned 80% of the City of London. We climbed what seemed like a million steps to get to the top but it was totally worth it to see the fantastice views. Lurve it.

For dinner,
we made a stop at the Harrods Food Halls. When I die, I hope heaven looks like
the Harrods Food Halls. That place is perfect. I think I could live my whole
life in Harrods and never leave, and still be satisfied. There is anything and
everything you could ever need at that store. And besides that, every room you
enter is absolutely gorgeous. I ate three desserts from Harrods, and I'm not even sorry. A white chocolate brownie, some delish gelato, and you guessed it, some LaDurée Macaroons. What an ideal day.
