Yesterday Katy and I woke up early to check out Club Kensington, the gym she got a membership to on Kensington High Street. We walked the mile or so to jump start our excercise, and we picked up a cup of tea and a Stan's cookie on the way. Katy had a guest pass for the gym and so we both worked out. It was a dingy little place with lots of industrial metal and flourescent lights, but the environment was comfortable and the people were friendly. There are daily yoga classes, and I may become a member just so that I can go to those for free (FIE students get a special 99 pound membership fee). Afterwards, while walking on on high street, we discovered Marks and Spencer, a department/grocery store that seems like an British version of Trader Joes. We bought a box of 160 bags Marks and Spencer brand English Breakfast tea after a woman in a very proper woman in felted coat and top hat told us it was the best tea around ("even better than Harrods!") We tried to escape the cold and take the tube home, but of course the circle line we wanted to take was closed in both directions. We took a bus to a bar with kids from our program last night, and then finished the night at a club near Trafalgar square. The DJ played lots of Lady GaGa, and we made some hilarious British friends. Today we woke up early for a bus tour of central London, but no one had gotten enough sleep, and everyone was motion sick.
