On Saturday, Drew, Sandra and I went to Camden Market. It was great! We saw all sorts of crazy stuff and we even had fajitas!!! They don’t get Mexican over here (everything has curry in it?) so we were really excited. I didn’t get to spend as much time as I would like, so I will probably go back next weekend.
Then, Drew and I went to Harrod’s to get Christmas ornaments and cards - that’s right, I’m sending cards that are London! Please don’t be disappointed when they aren’t mailed from London. It costs £.72 or nearly $1.40 per letter. I can’t afford that :) If anyone thinks that Christmas is over-commercialized and out-of-control in America, well you’ve never been here during November. All the lights were turned on weeks ago (more on that in a backlogged blog to come) and since there isn’t Thanksgiving to temper it, everyone here is in full Christmas mode. I too, have adopted that sentiment and feel that it’s completely normal now to play all 128 Christmas songs and counting that I have on my computer.
Drew and I braved the Tube on a Saturday six weeks before Christmas (they are ALL out shopping, I’m convinced). The picture above is what the Tube station looked like as we were trying to travel. Seriously, if someone decided to get mad and push, someone else would’ve ended up electrocuted on the tracks.
Later that night we went to Sports Cafe to watch Ohio win again Michigan. It was an incredible game. There was a two-hour line to simply get in the door. I refused...so I got one of the girls who works there to let my party in. We had a great time!
