Day 2 Summary

End of day two here in London and I am starting to catch my breath. This morning two friends from my dorm and I went shopping for some essentials. We made our way to central London for the first time since we arrived. I was relieved to finally see the image of London that I had been expecting. Our housing in Lambeth does not feel like London and I was starting to get the feeling I'd never experience true London. We got to see what the business districts look like and I was overcome by the beauty of the city. After I ate the first Krispy Kreme I have had in several years (much too long and a highlight of my day), we walked the River Thames and found a farmers market that we plan to attend every weekend until we leave.

After we finished our shopping trip, we participated in a University of Westminster scavenger hunt with 9 more friends from the housing and landed in a pub after a few hours. After drinks, we went to a nice dinner and headed home. I am exhausted.

Tomorrow we start orientation and classes bright and early. Not looking forward to waking up at 6 am to shower, but we can't always get what we want.

Here are my favorite images from the morning walk:
