Monday in London was our free day, and I went to the coffee shop by our hotel, Pomme de Pain. Afterwards, I went to Primark (aka the posher version of Forever 21) where I spent way too much money…rip my bank account. I then went to the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square; the gallery included paintings by Van Gough, Monet, and Picasso. Afterwards, I went to tour a nearby church, which had a rustic cafe in the basement. I then took the tube (and I minded the gap) to Bond Street, where I tried incredibly overpriced chocolate and had to window-shop at stores, since I couldn’t even afford to breathe the air inside. Afterwards, I went to Shoreditch and ate at Old Fountain for dinner–it was by far my favorite meal that I had eaten in London. To end the day, I went to the John Snow Pub with other members of the class to commemorate his contributions to the scientific community.
