Well this week I have been able to really figure out the train and the tube stations. I have had orientation all week so I have been going into London more of the days which has been fun. At first it was kinda confusing but I definitely feel like I just get around without looking too much like a tourist, which was a big goal to accomplish.
I was also able to go on a walking tour through Kensington which is where one of my two campuses are. There is so much to see right around that school. I found out that Dustin Hoffman has a place down the street and also a lot different countries Embassy's were just a few block away. When we were walking through these They said that pictures were not allowed because of terrorist reasons. It was also interesting because you look down the street and they all look like really big mansions but you see a guy with a machine gun outside one of them... can you guess which country that was?.... Israel. I found that very interesting.
Tim has been home in Indy all week so it has just been Tracy, Mason and I. Tracy and I went out driving one day and found store with an item that we were sooo excited about. JIF Peanut Butter! We have not had peanut butter since we got here and we were just pumped about that. We have also found a few different shopping areas, including a really big mall that is not too far from us.
I guess you can say that this week we have done a lot of the local things. We have found places around us that we would go shopping or just hang out, figured out some more fun places to eat, and figured out the transportation a little more. Not sure what the plans are for the weekend... I will let you know :)
SO what have you all been up too?
