Let's start off today's post a little differently - with some photos of today/ yesterday!
H&M in London likes to be a bit more classy than those we see in the United States. These gorgeous potted plants were located in the walkway-esque room located directly outside the dressing rooms. H&M is a European company so the prices are actually pretty decent! (AKA I got a necessary little bag to carry out with me for 8 pounds... or around $12). Apparently this room also doubles as a space to watch Fashion Week (coming up in March, I think?)
And here's the nice little dressing room lady, as I waited for a friend.
We had lunch in Oxford Circus at this DELICIOUS Italian restaurant chain, Vapiano. However, it made me miss my favorite dear place, Pastabilities. (If you have never been there, drive to Syracuse right now. Their bread and hot oil are a MUST!) Pastabilities is my favorite lunch date place and the last place I ate in Syracuse before heading home for the last time! Yummy... I'll be craving me some hot tomato oil now...
But this place had to suffice for today! (for the next 77 days, until I can return home and indulge!) They did give me fresh bread to dip in balsamic vinegar and spicy oil. I'm not opposed!
Here's my delicious pesto rosso. Not sure what's in it... but it was pretty good! Satisfying for this girl longing to travel to Italy... (which I'll be doing so soon! with Jake and with my mom!). Iced tea is also decently hard to find around here so I was right at home with my bottle of peach tea. Happiness...
Here's the lovely man preparing my food for me! You go up to the counter and they prepare your meal directly in front of you, just as you wish. I love me a fresh Italian dish.
When you walk in, they give you these little cards. You swipe it after ordering and then use to pay on your way out. Handy! Also easy when dining with a friend, as you do not have to worry about splitting the check!
Saw this in the Tube last night. HA! So weird to see so many Vegas signs... isn't that a far trip for a weekend vacation?
That's all on my Friday photos... (maybe that'll become a weekly thing too? who knows!) I'm home, about to prepare myself a meal, then headed out to see a concert with some friends at the Ministry of Sound. It's supposed to be legendary... I'll let you know what I think tomorrow.
All in all, I spent my morning talking to mommy and grandma, ate some lunch, and met a friend. We shopped around Oxford Circus and had a delicious lunch along with loads of girl chat. It was nice to just meet up with a friend. Now it's home for a few hours before meeting up with her again to see this concert!
Another week is completed and in 11 weeks, I head home. That may sound like a lot to you but the more I think about it, the sadder I get. Yes, I'm beyond thrilled to go home to my favorite people but the thought that I've already completed so much time here is slightly saddening. This experience is causing me to learn so much about myself and I will be forever grateful I decided to come on this adventure. I think the following few pictures describe how I feel (as found on Pinterest): I'm learning to grow... and it's pretty awesome.
Happy Friday!
