I am finally in London! After a very tough flight I am finally here. These past couple days have been so packed that it’s really hard to tell them all apart. I have already eaten a lot of great food so I have much to talk about. I have pictures of everything, but am still trying to locate a cord to my camera to upload on someone’s laptop, so bear with me as I get myself together over here.

First night we ended up at this very interesting Lebanese restaurant where our professor haggled the price of all of us and soon began bringing out plates and plates of food. There wasn’t a whole lot for me to eat because most of the stuff had goat or lamb in it but I did have pita bread and hummus which was good but then I threw in some green beans with some sort of seasoning and man it was delicious!

The next day a group of us went to Portobello Market which was amazing! It was extremely crowded, but there was so much to experience there I didn’t really notice the crowds. The first thing I did was find some food, so I bought a feta, spinach and tomato bagel from a street vendor which was awesome. The feta was not as salty as I am used to, so it made the overall taste of it not as harsh as feta can be. Then almost as soon as I finished that I found another bakery, the Hummingbird Bakery, that I just had to go into. Their cakes and cupcakes all looked sooo good, but I settled on a red velvet cupcake even though I was tempted but other choices such as toffee cupcake, bling bling cupcake (with silver sprinkles on it) and a chocolate cupcake covered in sprinkles. I also got a spinach and cheese muffin to munch on later which proved to be very useful the next day when we were touring the Tower of London and none of us had eaten all day.

Later that day after walking around Covent Gardens I recommend a little vegetarian place I knew around there. I managed to convince all the these meat eating guys to come with me and I really think they enjoyed it. I got a risotto with roasted vegetable and a side salad. Other options they had were sweet potato soup and quiche. Everything looked amazing and all the plates were cleaned by the end of the meal.

So far I have really had an amazing time here and all the food I’ve had has been so yummy. I have a lot more stories to tell, but don’t want to waste them all on my first really post! But I have tons of things to share about my experience as a groundling at the Globe Theatre and the Tower of London. Stay tuned!
