SNOW DAY! (AND CHOCOLATE!)

Today was a busy day for me! I woke up, got dressed, threw on a coat and headed out to a Saturday Farmer's Market I've meant to go to for a while. I bought some soups for later and a sausage roll for breakfast. I went back to the flat to freeze the soup and finish my roll and then hung around a bit until 12ish, which is when I headed off to the Waterloo area to go to a CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL! It was cold the whole day, and snowed a lot. Apparently there's still plenty of snow back in America, despite the first day of Spring being just a couple days ago. I bought a couple macaroons there (I meant to take pictures of them, but I ate them.) and sampled some hot chocolate there. I've noticed a difference in the various hot chocolates I've sampled since I've been in Europe. I've gotten a couple bitter ones. They aren't bad, but they just aren't as sweet as I'm used to them being. Just an observation that I've made, seeing that I'm such a professional hot chocolate connoisseur.
After the festival, I headed to the British Museum to see more of what was in the museum. I'd never actually been in the main area/lobby of the building, so I was surprised when I found a giant area with a cafe and the 4 shop that I've seen in the building. I had to take a break and sit down in the museum to plan out what I was going to do for the rest of the day. I decided that I would walk around London some more.
I walked from the museum to Covent Garden, looked around a market and saw giant painted Easter eggs that I think were on auction to raise money for a charity. I made my way back to the flat around 5 and I was TIRED. I pretty much walked the entire in the snow.
I'm meeting another old high school friend tomorrow. I've still got my internship and some classes going on. One more week till Doctor Who and three more until ****** *** **********! Till then, later!
