Yesterday we met up with a friend of my brother's, who showed us all over the Brixton area of South London- the local markets were amazing and full of incredible looking fresh fish and meats. It was great to see the local areas of London where tourists don't usually end up. We had dinner in the markets and then headed to a couple local bars and saw a bit of live music. It was a great evening, and really a great chance to get outside the normal tourists areas.
We're pretty exhausted at this point, so we're taking it really easy- today we saw Despicable Me in 3D (which came out when I was studying for the bar and completely oblivious to everything else in the US).
Tomorrow is our LAST DAY here- we fly back across the pond on Tuesday (leaving London at 12:00 PM- 5 AM KC time....arriving in KC at 11PM KC time...connecting to IAD and ATL....that is going to be brutal). We're planning on spending it catching high tea at Kensington Palace and then heading over to Brick Lane for shopping and Indian food. I can't believe it's over- and at the same time I feel like we've been traveling for much longer than 6 weeks. We're really looking forward to getting back to the states and sleeping in our own bed again after visiting our family and friends in KC (25 uncomfortable cheap hostel/hotel beds between times sleeping in our own...but who's counting).
For now, time to sleep in one of the last .... goodnight!
