After finally waking up, some of us went to a restaurant called Giraffe for lunch and it was so good. It has dishes from all around the world and everything is decently priced. I'm still in favor of London food. After lunch we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum (V & A). Oh and I forgot to mention that it was raining during this whole time, a miserable rain...even made Caroline cry and Marylyn's umbrella turn inside out multiple times. Anyways, the V & A is HUGE. There is so much to see and do. We probably only got through a fraction of it. I saw Japanese, Korean, Medieval European and Leighton artifacts and creative play sets and lots of jewelry and some sweet photography. In the creative play exhibit there was this fake old lady who made an unstoppable creepy laugh everytime we walked by.
Last night, while attempting to write our papers, the boys came home, drunk, and distracted us from writing. I guess that's what happens when they realize that they wrote the wrong paper while they are hanging out at the Texas Embassy drinking margaritas.
In other news...3 days until Paris!
Things I've learned
1. Many things in museums are actually plaster casts and not the real thing.
2. Even native Londoners hate the rain.
3. Baker's Oven is closed on the bank holiday.
4. Sommerfield's sells delicious and healthy individual tiramasu cups.
5. Finding hotels/hostels in Paris is difficult.
Off to my WONDERFUL (gag me) class. Cheerio
