Alex In London!

And we are back! I know I have been MIA for a while, but it was because I had such a busy week!
Next week is the last week of classes, so in my classes this past week we have had a few mock exams which makes for lots of homework. AND on top of that, my sister came to visit!!

Here is a recap of her visit, with lots of pictures, as per usual.
Alex flew in on Friday morning and after she got settled in my tiny room we went out to walk around and shop Regent Street and Oxford Street.

We had tea at Nicole Farhi and shopped around Carnaby Street in Soho. 

Later that night we went to see the musical Legally Blonde, which was really funny and cute.

And that was enough for the day for Alex, she was just a little bit jetlagged.

On Saturday we went to Portobello Market in the morning, this outdoor market with stalls that sell a lot of vintage and antique stuff. We walked around and found a few things we liked. Which wasn't hard with Alex's shopping skills!

O hey Al.

There was one store that sold a ton of masks like these, they were so neat. All of them were made in Italy and really pretty

I wouldn't want to be one of the people that parked their car on Portobello Road, would take forever to get out with all the people mobbed around!

Later that night we went to a club in The Mayfair called Mahiki with my friend Luke. Its a cool place; Tahitian/Hawaiian themed and tries to be really posh and exclusive so we had to pretend that we were American celebrities to get in right away and not have to wait. Brits are really gullible sometimes.

The shopping and fun continued on Sunday, Alex and I headed out to Spitalfields Market, another shopping district in London this time focusing on boutique and up-and-coming designer fashion.

We had a good time walking around but didn't find too much that we liked, so we went to Selfridge's instead, where we knew we would easily be able to find some great things to use the credit card on!

That was the end of our London weekend, we went back to my room to pack for Barcelona, and I will take you through our adventures there in my next post!
