In which I go to market, see modern art, and study in the park

Saturday is a special day, it's the day you get ready for Sunday... and go to MARKET!!! More specifically Borough Market, for some of THE MOST delicious food of my LIFE... Oh goodness gracious. I was in food heaven. It was a common consensus after we left that we are all going back again FOR SURE.
We started off next to the tallest free standing column in Europe, commemorating the London Fire of 1660. Then we walked to the market and ATE FOOD. Oh my deliciousness.

A cool column...

 Is this the most delicious grilled cheese of my life? Possibly YES. SO GOOD.

My excitement could not be contained over all this YUMMY CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!

This was definitely a little weird.. Kangaroo fillets and meatballs... SUPER DELICIOUS... I kinda want to try some, just so I can say I've eaten it... ;)


 What the??? RHUBARB CRUMBLE. OH BABY, take me now. I was in heaven. I LOVE rhubarb. Rhubarb pie literally lasts a day in my house.. this lasted 5 minutes, because I savoured every delicious delectable bite...

Classy Wine for that Classy occasion... OH baby... ;)

Then it was off to the Tate Modern. A FREE modern art museum. It was cool :) Here's some of my favorites:
 I really like realism. Not gonna lie.


This one was kinda neat. I could probably recreate something similar, but it was striking.

This was one of the pieces that just leaves you going.. huh??? I don't understand it.

I TOUCHED THE BUTT!!!!!!!!! bahahaha I couldn't resist the Nemo reference. it was too perfect.
AFter the museum, we had to finish our London walk, and as we were walking along the Thames, we came across this: 
This is only the greatest thing ever: A USED BOOK market in London. I found some cool stuff, but it's Paul, the kid with the backpack who was the real winner. He found an old copy of wait for it... "Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Jerome K. Jerome.... This is probably only interesting to my family, but I was SUPER jealous. So it is now my goal to find that book while I'm here.. :) I WILL PREVAIL. I have unwavering optimism and determination haha.

This was a Syrian protest we had to walk past to get home. They were right across from the Russian embassy. Yah, I live around the corner from the Russian embassy. NBD. Then I went to Hyde Park to study. It was quite lovely and relaxing and wonderful. There's nothing like studying in a BEAUTIFUL park.

This is where I was sitting. Beautiful. I Love my life.
