This is going to be an abbreviated post, since it was an
abbreviated trip:
- Late flight on Wednesday
- Someone let us cut to the front in customs to catch our bus
- Sprinted through the airport. Ran like I haven’t run since... maybe ever
- Almost died on the bus into the city, crazy fun driver
- Hostel life
- Woke up early for a Fat Tire Bike Tour
The tour was awesome. Saw some parts of London that I’d
never seen before, and learned a ton about the River Thames. My favorite part
was going to the Borough market for an exploration of a lunch. Also, we found a
Ben’s Cookies in Covent Garden, which is the only little cookie shop that Jesus
gave his cookie recipe to. Had the best cookie of my life from their Oxford
location the summer before, and didn’t know that there were shops in London. It
was the most excited I had been since probably sledding in Switzerland. That exciting.
- Revisited my favorite vintage market, in Spitalfields
- Introduced Brad to the glory of Crepe Affaire’s nutella milkshake
- Visited Wieden + Kennedy, an incredible ad agency
- Made our way back to the West End to catch a show! Rock of Ages. Hilarious.
- FLARED TO CHIPOTLE. First guacamole I’ve had all semester. Indescribable.
- Slept
- Early morning visit to Monmouth Coffee and Phoenix Gardens, the best combination in London since men and British accents
- Had breakfast at Le Pain with the one and only Olivia Forkenbrock! Sweet pal from TCU studying in London. Le Pain is the home of best mocha in London.
- Revisited our old flat from last summer
- Enjoyed one last meal: Hummus Bros. Picnicked in Bedford Square! Just like old times. Hummus Bros is the meal of champions, and you should google it.
- Time to head back to the airport
We had a jam-packed FUN 2 days in London town. Miss that city. Plus, they speak English there, so that’s good. I think I’ll try and live there one day.
Got back to Sevilla, then left 5 hours later for Morocco! Viva la vida!
