After the 50 mile long line at customs, Cassidy and I took a cab to our flats. Let me just say that I thought cab drivers in New York were insane, they've got nothing on English cabbies! It was about a 40 minute white-knuckled ride but we did make it to our new home.
Unpacking got to be too much for my exhaustion and I took a nap before our first meeting. All of the new study abroad students met to take our first "tube" ride. We went to a part of town called Covent Garden. It was very busy compared to where the flat is, which I loved! I took down lots of addresses of interesting restaurants and cafes but we decided to eat at a Mexican restuarant called Wahaca. They served tapas style mexican and it was DELICIOUS! I got chips & guac, pork tacos and a black bean & cheese quesadilla. YUM!
Now I'm back for the night, eyes heavy, ready for BED!
Here are a few photos from my day. ENJOY!
My first experience with the Tube
Covent Garden Market
Streets of Covent Garden
Wahaca- modern, sustaible, delicious Mexican tapas restaurant
Chips and Gaucamole (that was GOOD quac!)
Pork Tacos, they were teeny tiny and much prettier before I
took the habenero pickled onions off... tasty!
Black Bean & Cheese Quesadilla, not pretty but it sure was good!
