Reach Deep and Release your Inner-Child

8:22-Saturday:
We are the the way home.
This bus is bumpy and kind of smells like a sweaty b-hole. (Sorry to be graphic.) Nonetheless it's transportation and who am I to be picky?
I have just slept for an hour and 24 minutes. Success. That means I have 3 hours and 36 minutes left. 35 now. I will probably use 90% of this time in the same useless way. It seems to be the best option- seeing as the only thing I can make out past the windows are the passing headlights and they aren't all that interesting.
Just got a whiff of toilet... Jealous? Oh, the perks of being on the back of the bus.
Today was everything a trip should be. Aimless, sugary, and all around delightful. We started off the day eating granola on the tube; just two girls on our way to ryantown. We ended up on Columbia street, which has several boutiques, galleries, and cafes. I have pictures to share... But being on a bus is all kinds of hindering. For lunch, we ate at a cute little cafe whose name escapes me at the moment... I had a delicious prosciutto, tomato, and rocket ciabatta while Courtney ate a late brunch of chorizo, eggs, and toast. In true fat-girl-style, we immediately followed lunch with cupcakes from an adorable bakery across the street. Halloween themed cupcakes, to be exact, which was a nice treat... Seeing as 87% of the welsh-folk are anti-Halloween-life-ruiners. We enjoyed the cupcakes in a little park around the corner, where we gawked at all of the cute little British children.
Oh goodness, I almost forgot about Rob Ryan. His studio, which is dead center on Columbia, was overwhelmingly beautiful. Of course, he was there, signing... But we spent most of our stay obsessing over his brilliant tiles and tapestries. It was truly worth the trip.
After our rendezvous in ryantown, we headed back to the center of town to wander aimlessly. We ended up in several gift shops with the same silly merchandise throughout and finally, after walking for 2 hours, landed in a starbys for a white chocolate peppermint mocha. We people watched for a while, before walking back down the streets of London; there are so many interesting people on this side of the pond...
We ended up at a subway for a quick sandwich, before we got on the bus, then I took a nap... And now here we are. Thank goodness you're up to speed, huh?
Still smells like a sweaty bootay, but now I only have to endure if for... 3 hours and 8 minutes. Coooooool.
Nap time, anyone?
Mad love.
