My first real weekend in London


The weather has been beautiful this weekend. The sun was out and it was in the high 60's might even have reached the 70's!

On Saturday I went to Oxford street and went shopping...well more window shopping that actual shopping. With the exchange rate the prices are outrageous, so I am trying really hard to not buy too much. But you all know me =) I have a hard time just window shopping! I went to a cute little restaurant for dinner that was off on a side street. FYI: the salad dressings in the UK suck!!! I haven't found one that I have liked yet!
Here are some pics from Oxford street.

Today, I went down to a shopping mall close to the hotel. I needed to buy bed lines and towels before I move in on Tuesday. The flat does not come with bedding, towels, etc. I really missed having my car today...lugging bags of comforters, towels, pillow etc on the bus was not the easiest thing ever. I can just imagine what it will be like when the rain comes!

Love ya!

Hey Lisa,
Well, I'm just figuring this whole blog thing out. I've never done a 'blog' or been a part of one yet but I'm figuring it out. I happen to stumble onto the link at the bottom of your last e-mail and I miraculously came to this site! I feel so old school! Haha!

I'm so excited for you, what an amazing 5 month adventure. The apartment looks really cute and comfortable.

Looking forward to getting more updates.

Cheerio! ;)
