London Town

We got back from London two nights ago, and since then, have only left the house to go out for Signe, Peter and Dinne's last night in Paris (yesterday night. Ok, and today to get a baguette because we ran out of provisions).

I have done nothing but enjoying my bed (couch), looking at pictures and reading magazines that my Mom sent me on a package from Costa Rica... yest I'm still so tired! What's wrong with me I'm so lazy. And I've been saying "Ok now I'm gonna start packing" for the past few hours but can't seem to get up! I'm moving apartments on Saturday but I'm gonna go visit Marifer at La Rochelle from Tuesday to Friday, so I better get started tomorrow.

Anyways, it's time for some London pictures! We walked so much, took so many metros (or, "the tube") and laughed so hard at the brit accent and had a blast. London was completely different from Paris. Ok maybe not as compleely as Berlin but you sense you're in a totally different place, and you can see the people around you are not French, and even less, Parisian. A lot of things I expected were not there, and then I was surprised by lots of others.

I wanna be all smart and make cool observations but I think physical inactivity has taken a toll on my mental capacities. Ah! For now, just some pictures...




We stayed in the Bloomsbury neighborhood (yes, like that publishing house that prints the Harry Potter books). But of course that's not the important thing, the publisher's named like that after this neighborhood, with great literary tradition where homies like Virginia Woolf, J.M. Keynes and co. lived, wrote and worked.

And here we have the next generation.

Spotted. B taking a break at Bloomsbury after a long day of walking checking out Topshop on Oxford Street. Why are you there so lonely, B? Wonder if M took off with a London hottie in a motorcycle...

XOXO

GG.




Canaby Street, were good things were happening on the 60s and 70s.



Carnaby was the heart of the swinging 60s, too bad it's become e real tourist trap with Starbucks in every corner.. but there's still coof stuff, shops and galleries around.





The Youth Club @ SoHo, around Carnaby Street.





Notting Hill bookshop.



Buckingham Palace 0 - Versailles 1. These minicabs are all over, and apparently you can neves stop a cab in the street in London since it's really dangerous... how? They look so cute!



Seriously, they were selling this book called "William and Kate: A Royal Souvenir." Seriously.




Yes, I'm lame, but I just had to.




Sunset at the Kensington Palace gardens.






Perfect thing to own for people like me who, yes, hate wearing things on their wrists... but that doesn't mean we don't love to know what time it is! Most precious find at the Camden markets.



Last day walking along the Thames looking for the Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. It was sunny and beautiful the four days we were there. Still cold, but clear skies so I can not complain!
