HARRODS=HEAVEN


           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.
