hop, skip and jump across the pond

it's been a while since i did some long distance traveling. the majority of my trips this year have been home which don't count as vacations!

this weekend meeka and i were fortunate enough to head to london for a few days. i've never had much of a desire to go but when meeka suggested it, i thought i should keep an open mind and just head there.

although we were not there for long, i think we hit up most of the hot spots in london and had a memorable experience! some high level take aways i have are that in general i did not the british people were nice. everything is overpriced and the weather was boo boo. the food wasn't even as bad as everyone said it would be....one of my favorite meals was in the pub!

the high of my trip was walking around notting hill. the streets varied from a main street with tons of chain stores to smaller streets with REALLY cute shops and restaurants to residential (and very bourgie) streets which reminded me a lot of pacific heights in sf.

the low of my trip was dining at an indian restaurant and getting gyped.

while on our trip, it was so funny because we were already planning our next trip to dublin. i joked that we should write a book about short trips and mastering them but we will see once we hit up dublin and hopefully paris.
