SATURDAZE goes to London

SATURDAZE travels abroad! The week of Thanksgiving I traveled to London to visit some friends from school. The weekend was too short, but it was worth the trip. Europe is always a good idea.
I landed on Thursday and made my way to my friends apartment while she was at work. Her brother had never been to London so we went to the touristy sights- Westminster Abbey, London Eye, and Big Ben. Then we had a Thanksgiving dinner courtesy of Whole Foods with some ex pats, my friend's American co-workers, and their British friends. My first Friends-giving was a success even if I had to sacrifice homemade pumpkin pie.
More importantly, the SATURDAY consisted of exploring outdoor market and going to Winter Wonderland. The Winter carnival was much more impressive than what I expected. There were at least double the amount of rides compared to any local fair I had been to in CA. It was packed full of both kids and adults in full holiday cheer. The only cautionary tale is to watch out for people running around spilling your (or their) mulled wine from over excitement. If you do not have fun at Winter Wonderland you need to rethink what you consider "fun", Mr. Scrooge.
Until next time. Stay tuned.
