Schedule in London



Yesterday we obtained our schedules for the Quarter.

Theater Monday nights and Thursday mornings
Contemporary British History Tuesday mornings and Friday afternoons
Art, Architecture and Society all Wednesday

Truly grueling
My keen sense of observation made it clear that we would be having a four day weekend next week. Plans were hastily arranged. Voila! I leave for Paris via coach on Wednesday night. Wine, berets and those disturbing mimes await!
But back to lovely London, we did a far less touristy walk yesterday with Peter. We hit up a few Christopher Wrenn churches, Smithfield Meat Market, and the bridge that inspired one of Fergie's finest songs.
Peter was playing quite the Mrs. Bennet as he kept giving tips to some of the girls on how to meet rich blokes (Wine Bars) and how much better the clubs in Camden were for frolicking with Brits not other tourists.

Smithfield: A different kind of Meet Market
We also saw The Priory Church of St. Bartholomew's, or for the cinema obsessed the church where Hugh Grant gets punched in the face in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Classic.
Then the whole group of us got ambitious and decided to try out the night life in Camden. It was incredible, the energy was electric and the drinks were delicious. My favorite place we stopped at was the Oxford Arms. I had a pint of hard cider that made the tube ride home a little less chilly.
Tomorrow is Amalia's epic Passover meal and more planning for European adventures!
