We win the award today! Taylor, Alex, Michal and I woke up earrrrlyyyy at the crack of 10am and went to Camden Market. It was divine. There were pashmina scarves, jumpers (one oversized jumper with an awkward looking penguin caught by eye...), and endless rows of coats. There were also several goth/punk/vintage stores that reminds me of my uncleish's store in Providence!
At the market we were heckled several times by the vendors while we were there. I must have forgotten to take off the "I'm a tourist" sticker off my forehead. At one point, a man said he would give me a dress for free if I took him along with me! I passed on that proposal. After crossing the street we came to a whole other set of shops and booths selling amazing jewlery, dresses, handbags, and knitwear. I found some fabulous necklaces. I need to go back. I should stop eating and spend all my money on clothes. EEK! At the market there was also a place where they were roasting a pit on a spit, chopping it up, and serving it on ciabatta bread with apple chutney, leafey greens, and some sort of hot sauce. It smelled amazing, but by that point I was broke! HOWEVER. They are open every weekend, so I am going back as soon as possible.
After the market we walked through Regent's Park. It was a gorgeous day. We saw the sun! A blue sky! Mild weather! (It's so funny how the weather can so easily affect one's mood.) The park was hhhuuu-age. And the grass was green. Which i thought was interesting! I can't recall if Boston common has such green grass in the middle of January.
Once through Regent's Park we found ourselves near Madame Tusauds. We decided to go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum located on Baker street. It was a pretty cool photo-op, though I don't know much about Holmes. I kept wishing we would run into Robert Downey Jr. or Jude Law.
After the museum we headed home on the 453 bus. I fell asleep on it....
Well, that was my day. I have procrastinated long enough. Time for homework.
