what did i do yesterday?

Not much, for my last Saturday in London.
I thought I was going to be really productive, so I got up early and went to Portobello Market with Amy and Nathan. We walked around for probably four hours, and still didn't see everything we could have. When I went to the market the first time, I only saw the antique part, but there is a section for food, like fresh veggies and meat, and a section for vintage clothes (I'm kind of glad I didn't know about it sooner, since I probably would have spent way too much money there), and a section for junk that you might find at a really bad garage sale. I'm glad we went early, because by the time we walked back we could hardly get through the hundreds and hundreds of foreigners who come to the market every week. It was a madhouse. But a lot of fun.
At the market we bought some fresh spinach and cheese, and brought it back and made omelettes. They were fantastic, especially since we had been eating a lot (a lot) of pub food in the past few weeks.
Then we sat around for a few hours. It's nice to just relax sometimes, since we've been running around doing stuff for three months straight.
Then we tried to find a jazz club to go to. There are a lot in London, so we headed out with two good choices. Both ended up really crowded, and there was either a 10pound cover charge or an enormous line outside. We ended up just going to another pub. It was still a good night, though.
Cheers!
