world traveller i am

...i made it to london, all by my big girl self! the flight went well, thanks to a couple of valium, and i'm mostly over the jetlag, thanks to a lot of black tea. did i mention that i love tea? because i am in the right place for being a tea lover. today we went to bouroughs market, where they have so much beautiful food it kind of looks fake. i would move here, based solely on the market. and the flowers.

luckily for julie and i, the dumb americans that we are, they have written in big block letters on the sidewalk "LOOK RIGHT" and "LOOK LEFT" so that we don't get smashed by big black taxis going 500 mph. julie asked someone where to find a bathroom and they looked at her like she had asked where to find a donkey that lays eggs.

i feel like pounds and pence are play money, too bad they cost me a FUCKING fortune. i went to the atm and withdrew 100 pounds, which cost me 186 usd. love that, so much i love it.

tomorrow its off to stonehenge and bath.

Go to Tate Modern! I spent the better part of a day there.
