Loving my Last London Days!

Good morning from London!  It is crazy how quickly my time here is dwindling!  This week, I didn't have classes after Monday, so I have been taking advantage of my London days!

After class on Monday, Allyson and I walked to Portobello Road Market! After enjoying the market, we went to check out St. Mary's Hospital where Kate will be having her baby any day now!! There were already a few people staked out there waiting for the royal birth!  We also walked back through Kensington Gardens which are in full bloom!

On Tuesday I walked to Covent Garden Market!  It was a beautiful day, and I loved walking through Hyde Park, Green Park, past Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square on the way there and by way of Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, Green Park, and Hyde Park on the way back!  Meg, Kelsey, Allyson and I also went to Muffin Man for an afternoon tea!  It was such a sunny day, we enjoyed the evening with some wine and chatting in the park overlooking Kensington Palace!  Man, am I going to miss this neighborhood!!

Wednesday Meg, Kelsey, and I went back to Covent Garden and from there explored Neal's Yard (colorful hidden courtyard), Oxford Street (known as Europe's busiest shopping street), Carnaby Street (another shopping destination), Hamley's (oldest toy shop in the world), and Westminster area!  It was a lovely day spent out and about in London!

Thursday was a London Markets day!  I started off at Brixton Market, and then went to Lower Marsh Market, enjoyed some time on the Southern Bank of the Thames, had lunch at Borough Market (and saw the St. George's Day Parade dance through), walked around the Tower of London area, and then finished off at Chapel Street Market!  I loved the hustle and bustle of the day at some terrific markets and classic London areas!

That night Meg and I also went and walked around Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, and checked out M&M World!

I have been enjoying this weekend so far too... but will post more in my blog about that tomorrow!  Madeline is arriving in London tonight and I am so excited to see her later!!

Happy Weekend!! =)

Oops, I almost forgot... this is a short documentary I made for my Video Production class too!  Just thought I would share!
