As you may have guessed by the title, I went to the legendary Portobello Road yesterday (at least, legendary for those of you who've seen Bedknobs and Broomsticks). Sadly, there were no big dance numbers, but there were a very large variety of street vendors and some very very old books. I also went on a walk through my neighborhood, which includes Hitler's favorite building (currently a shopping mall), a nifty Greek Orthodox church, a very large park, several Tube stops and innumerable eating establishments.
One of the things I love about London is that it's so very diverse. When we walked through Whiteley's, which is the mall, there was a group of African drummers, playing and dancing in the middle of the mall. When I went to read in Kensington Gardens, there were apparently Scottish dancers, but I just heard the music. Last night, we had Indian food, which was absolutely fantastic.
I also played Apples to Apples, whcih made me feel like I was back in Provo! Not quite as much fun as a nuclear blast, but close. Classes don't start until Monday, but I think they will be fun. How are all of your classes?

Oh wow, sorry I am late I was busy dying under a pile of papers aka home work. So yeah school kind of sucky kind of great. I am glad to be back because my two week vacation sucked but man were did all these people come from... summer term was so relaxed and free of trafic jams that I forgot was real school was like. Classes are great, I am excited about immunology and virology (which sounds incredably hard) and spanish translation, oh and tennis (yeah the BYU men's tennis coach is my teacher, hopefuly he'll bring some of his players for a show and tell type of thing). I am not too happy with phonetics, linguistics, new testament and history. I have the same history teacher that I had for summer so i thought it would be cake but no she is so much more harder then she was this summer (I think I am going to die). Oh and I have some bad news I reverted back to my antisocial ways (the big wards scare me) and we lost another member of the club. Yeah I am still in shock...
Wow that was long I should have posted that on my own blog. Oh I just wanted to ask if you have seen him yet?
