Anyway the Wind Blows: London Day 1 cont. & Day 2

London has been absolute amazing so far. While we are here we are staying at the Westminster dorms. We have the cutest little flats with an amazing view! Sunday after we arrived at the University we went to explore the Covent Gardens district of London. After walking around for a few minutes I started recognizing a full section of the street. I started to think I was just going a little crazy, assuming it was the jetlag was getting to my head. Then I realized that it was the location that my DECA group picked for the location of our Five Guys for our International Business Plan my senior year of high school. Where the Chandos is where the five guys was for our project. After exploring the Covent Gardens we walked over to Waterloo bridge to get a quick view of the city. After walking till we almost fell asleep standing we went to a little local restaurant and got some good ole fish and chips before heading back to the dorm to crash (around 8pm lol). I really don't think I have ever slept so well in my life after surviving two weeks of minimal sleep at camp then going almost a full 48 hours on 2 hours of sleep I slept over 12 hours. This Monday morning I woke up refreshed at ready to go. This morning we had a lecture with Dr.Dobbs to learn more about London and our time here. After the lecture we headed to Kingscross station to see the 9 3/4 platform from Harry Potter. For lunch we had Pret which is a grab and go French sandwich shop. Monday afternoon I met up with Karolina a friend who was a foreign exchange student in America when I was in high school. She's attending university in London so she showed me around for the afternoon. We went to Piccadilly Cirus then headed down Oxford street to Buckingham Palace. After seeing Buckingham Palace Karolina and I headed to Costa (similar to Starbucks) for some coffee before heading to Harrods. If you have never been to Harods or know what it is it is probably my favorite place in the entire World. Think of the largest department store you can ever think of then add in a cute place on the bottom floor to get macaroons and a giant place to sample chocolates and tea. We then headed upstairs where they have a giant Disney boutique and cafe which was just absolutely adorable. We then browsed through the rest of the departments Harrods literally has every designer imaginable. After Harrods I headed back to the university where I met up with the rest of the group to go to dinner at a Wahaca a super urban "Mexican" place. Probably the farthest thing from Mexican food in the states but it was amazing. If only Texas had Mexican food like that maybe I would like Mexican food. I had corn chips with corn that had a mayonnaise sauce which sounds weird but it was soo good plus some broccoli with a garlic type sause. Now we are back to the university after our awesome day!
