Pancakes, Exploring, and Imperial London!

It has been a very good week here in London! While a lot of people in my program are getting sick, I have managed to stay healthy and keep on exploring London!!

On Monday, I mostly caught up from being away last weekend in Paris!

Tuesday, was PANCAKE DAY!! I went to the Great Spitalfields Pancake Race with Meg and Carla (a fundraiser for London's Air Ambulance... and very spirited London event!), and also explored Brick Lane, Shoreditch, and the Old Spitalfields Market too! It was tons of fun!!! =)  

With my classes on Wednesday, I went to the National Portrait Gallery for the first time, as well as the National Gallery.  I also walked through the Victoria Embankment Gardens, around Trafalgar Square, and along Whitehall (passing the Horse Guards Parade and 10 Downing Street) learning about London as an empire! 

Aside from that, I have really just enjoyed hanging out with new friends here this week!  And now... in just a few hours, I am off to Ireland for the weekend!! 

Until next time! =)
