Visit to Camden Market - pictures tell their own story, except for the socks. There was a stall owner with “card” socks and her dress was red white and black, but did not match. There were plenty of weird scenes and fashions, if you could call it fashion.... read more

I have been frustrated. I feel like I am floating. My professor suggested I journal to help me process everything. Maybe then I will see connections. Maybe then I will feel like my learning is more concrete, more productive. I have never thought of myself as a product orientated person, but perhaps there is at least part of me that is. Part of me that wants to be here for what happens after I leave. I don't like that thought. But I also don't like the idea of not learning and growing. How do you stay present and mindful in the moment, and yet still be intentional about pushing yourself to grow? Can you have goals and still focus on the process?... read more

On our last visit to London 4 years ago we managed to see a large number of the places and sights that come recommended in travel books and by family and friends over the week that we had here. However, there are things that we want to see and do that we missed out on last time and we are going to try and fit them all or at least as many as possible into the next 4 days, weather permitting.

After another stalled start to our weekend ( I swear we are cursed when it comes to cars!.... who gets two flat tyres when all they want to do is head away for the weekend!)

A good night out for £25 actually, and we will do it again! Love Picadilly Circus with all the lights and atmosphere...where people in London are actually HAPPY! I spotted the m&m's store too......is there a better reason to go back?! After another ... read more

In London you can visit plenty of things whithout having to spend any pounds. Most of the museums and art galleries are free. You can see the gards in front of Buckinghame Palace with their traditional red coat and their bear skins hat. The ceremony of the changing of the gards is very impressive. To see that ceremony you have to be at Buckingham Palace for 11tho’clock but be careful the ceremony don’t takes place every day ! You also have many popular districts like Camden town with the famous Camden Lock Market, an enormous market where you can found everything ! It looks like an amusement park, the shops are so funny and there are there are extravert people like... read more
