I have a new favorite wrap place. It's called Nando's. You've probably heard about it because at least 4 different people back home suggested I go there. Cami and I went down to the one on Bayswater after class and sat down for a nice little lunch. It was really the first time I had sat down at a restaurant to eat. Reason? Because everything here is cheaper if you take it to go instead of sitting at a table so everything I have bought so far has been to "take away." I got the chicken wrap which was way good but a little spicy, and at Rachel's suggestion I got the sweet potato mash...sorry sis, but I actually thought it was pretty gross. I probably won't get the mash again but I definitely will get the chicken wrap.
After lunch the group went to the British Museum. Man, this place is humongous; it takes like three days just to walk through it. We were given specific rooms to visit that corresponded to what we are learning in our European Studies 336 class so I wasn't able to see some things that I wanted to see. I saw a ton of Roman artifacts that are thousands and thousands of years old. The two coolest things though that we got to see were the Rosetta Stone and stone slabs from the Parthenon.
I'll definitely be going back to see more because there are just too many good things to see there.

My day was made complete when Sarah, Cami, Courtney, Becca, and I rode the Tube down to the Shepherds Bush stop and experienced the closest thing we have to an American grocery store.
Thank you Rachel for telling me about Morrisons, it totally made my week.
looooove nando's!
