Today, I woke up and meet some new EUSA friends at Notting Hill to go shopping at the Portobello Market. We first ate a traditional English Breakfast (I had a traditional American Breakfast - pancakes, waffles & bacon - but more like Canadian bacon) and then went shopping. Afterwards, we headed toward Knightsbridge to visit Harrods. It was very expensive and it was huge inside! I didn't buy anything though.
We then went to Piccadilly Circus and we're wondering why so many people were there - it was because today was Gay Pride so there was tons of people for the parade. We made it through and took pictures at the Ritz Hotel - we were going to have some tea, but we were not dressed properly - instead we went to Prat and had a muffin and apple juice. I then came home and found out that the fireworks today were cancelled - however the 4th of July celebration was still occurring. I found it very interesting that the English celebrated the 4th when it was the day that they lost and the Americans won. Anyways, we were all exhausted by that time and I just decided to stay inside and relax - ordered a pizza from Dominos and talked to some London friends from home.
Tomorrow, we are off to St. Pauls and Westminster Abby and then maybe a boat ride at Regent's Park.
Cheers!
