Who knew Nottingham Castle has WiFi!?
Top of the morning to you!
Ok well its not really morning and I’m not so sure that’s something that people actually say but I’m in The UK right now and have been having a wonderful time visiting the city, spending time with my group and seeing lots of wonderful people. I am currently writing this blog post from right outside Nottingham Castle where Dalia, a friend of mine from camp who is studying in Nottingham, just dropped me off. It’s a beautiful day and its SO nice to see the blue sky and the sun and last night I even saw a sunset and some stars!! So weird not being in overcastted Copenhagen. I love the city but when I’m this excited to see then sun you know its been a bit too much. Last night Dalia and I went to a great veggie café and I got to meet some of her friends which was great and today we got fish and chips in the oldest pub in all of England which was pretty fantastic. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had too.
So London. Lots happened, very exciting..here are some highlights (in order of the trip):
• Freud Museum- ok I know this is dorky but it was very cool. I got to see his analytic couch and it made me feel like my mother’s daughter.
• Camdon Lock- great area, real fun and vintagey I bought a new purple pea coat there which was quite a useful purchase
• Indian Food!!!!
• London Eye- Beautiful at night..
• Amazing pre schools
• Seeing a lesson about Anne Frank being taught at an all boy Muslim elementary school
• Going to the mosque
• Drama workshop at the Globe Theater – very playbacky and good tools for teaching
• AVE. Q!!! SOO GOOD
• Having McD’s milkshakes with Melanie ☺ (I know she doesn’t want this to be known to the world but it was so worth it and we got potato wedges instead of fries so it was legit)
• Primar- Big store. Cheep shopping. Enough said
• Tate Modern and the Summerset House which was soo good! Saw Renoir’s “Le Loge” and Manet’s “Bar at the Folies Berger” which I loved and made me miss Impressionism class with Laura York
I think those are the major highlights. I’m about to go walk to the train station so I can spend Shabbat with Melanie in Golders Greene in London and then spend the day being a tourist with Vanessa. A camp friend a Brandeis friend and a high school friend all in 24 hours in London!? Pretty amazing. Anyway gots to be going! Cheers!
