Today was London's Holland festival :) I had asked Carissa if her and Allison would like to go. She said that they probably would and then invited me to go to the Portobello Road Market with them, I definitely said yes. I was not sure what the weather was going to be like, as it is a little bipolar in London, so I wore a long sleeve shirt and possibly my jacket. As it was chilly in the morning, as the afternoon went on it was getting warmer and much nicer. We walked along Portobello Road, it's fascinating. We saw a man who had his dog just standing on his upper back by his neck. I didn't get a picture, but it sure was a sight to see! After we were done wandering around the market we headed to Trafalgar Square. Honestly, I had no idea the color orange is part of the Holland flag, but it is, and that was the color to wear to this festival. Allison and I purchased some mini pancakes, poffertjes. Quite delicious, though pricey. We spent maybe 20-30 minutes just sitting there then we decided to head back. We walked back to Vandon House through St. James Park, lovely by the way! When we got back to Vandon House we went our separate ways, or I went mine and they went to the same room. I hung out in my afternoon the rest of the afternoon. Yes, I know it was a Beautiful day out, but I was tired ;) I did have my blinds open while I napped though. Later after I got up, I figured out what my Victorian London paper was going to be on, it only took me a couple weeks to figure it out!
Something that did tick me off a little was later when I found out that the girls had gone to Regents Park, and then went to Primrose Hill to watch the sunset. Something I had told them earlier in the day that I wanted to do. Why wasn't I invited? I know I'm not best friends, and we are only slightly friends but it still hurts knowing that you did exactly what I wanted to do.
The rest of my day was spent trying to figure out what to write now and then just hanging out in my room.
