This morning we all woke up and wanted to do something fun to get out of the apartment. We decided to venture to the famous Hyde Park to maybe do some bike riding or go out on the paddle boats. Of course, without fail, once we make the journey there it became overcast and cold and started lightly raining...just our luck! We still walked around for a while and looked at the beautiful gardens and saw some really cool rollerblading tricks! A group of people set up a line of cones and put on dance music and danced/bladed through the cones trying not to knock them over. We were all impressed as they were very talented. They were having a lot of fun with it I wish I could do something that cool! Squirrels are extremely friendly here and will come up and eat food out of your hand!! So different from America where they are skittish weird assholes. After staring at squirrels for a while we walked over the pond and saw all of the paddle boats and lawn chairs that were laid out for tanning. It made me sad about the weather and I immediately decided I MUST go back and sunbathe ASAP once it is over 60 degrees and sunny! (I have been stalking the Weather Channel and Wednesday might be the day!)

After the park we went to the Harrods, the famous department store. I thought maybe I would find something to buy on this cold, rainy day...but sadly the only thing I could afford in the whole store were a couple of chocolates (which I did buy for myself!) The enormous store was gorgeous as well as everything inside of it. One day I will be extremely rich and will buy some gorgeous items from there.
After our shopping excursion, we all went to a delicious Italian dinner at a restaurant called ASK (we had some buy-one-get-one-free coupons and were more than thrilled to save a buck on food for once!) The food was amazing I definitely want to go back. I have been living off of egg salad sandwiches from Tesco, toast, "Crunchy Nut" cereal, and chocolate croissants...oh and beer (so unhealthy, I'm already getting fat.) I need to start starving myself so I can shop...hehe.
OH - we also went and saw Hangover 2 the other night and I thought it was absolutely hilarious! We did have to pay about 15 dollars for it (but totally worth it.) The theatre was actually not freeeeeeezing cold like every movie theatre in America. We also stole a huge roll of toilet paper from the bathroom because we are only supplied with 2 rolls a week (seriously...for 6 girls? no way) also, our washing machine and DVD player have been broken the whole time we have been here. And our toilet has a mind of its own. It's been an experience. BUT I am loving every minute of it and never want to leave!!!!! Maybe I won't...hmm...we will see!
