Small World

Another sunny day in the cloudy city, my last real day of summer vacation (in the first week of October...). Sunday is a big market day in London, so Anja and I set off to explore the market scene. They were everywhere, and so packed! Some were vintage clothing and purses, others featured a variety of ethnic foods, others were like a street rummage sale where people would just put down blankets to get rid of stuff they no longer wanted, one had a rock band - they seemed to be collecting the most pounds, and others were just like a flea market.

After that we walked across Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Millennium Bridge, and some other bridge, so the River Thames and I are now well acquainted.

But here comes the real excitement for the day: Anja and I were slightly lost downtown, but it was okay b/c I was now trying to learn 11-20 in Norwegian and she was learning the difference between "on his own" and "by himself," when I heard "Kallie?" I looked up and there were a bunch of my architecture guy friends from Milwaukee strolling down the streets of London. They are over here in Rome and Spain studying and decided to take a vacation to London. I had no idea, and was completely floored. Crazy world.... It was so nice to see some familiar faces, though.

Tonight we went to the International Student House to watch "The Boat that Rocked." Hilarious, brilliant soundtrack. Now time to pack my bookbag.

Pictures are coming as soon as I figure out how to charge my camera.
