This is my room. Looking out the window you’ll see a Mosque. There’s always people bustling in and out of it, and I really like the fact it’s right outside my window.
The Dogtrack was closed this year (for some reason I thought it had been shut down for years?) It’s kind of a depressing place, only because it seems like it should be up and running, not just sitting there.
This is Coppermill. You feel as if you are in the country all of a sudden! There is an entrance up the road, and I’m going to go walk through by myself some time soon.
This is the High Street. Just a few minutes from Samantha’s house, the High Street is filled with a market on the weekdays (I will post many pictures of it…it’s quite busy and crazy) and there are shops on either side. I love it-it’s filled with culture, tradition, is always bustling AND it’s only minutes away from my front door!
This is the coffee shop. I absolutely LOVE this place. It’s run by five Algerian men who I remember from the last time we came over here. They are all so lovely and welcoming and I know most of them by name all ready. We’ve been there everyday since my arrival! I usually have hot chocolate and I was thinking today how I don’t miss Starbucks at all (did I REALLY just write that???) I do suspect that I will be getting intense cravings for Pumpkin Spice Lattes sometime in the near future, but for now I’m doing just fine.
Ava and Maude arrived home tonight and it was nice to see them (there were MANY kisses to go around…sometimes I’m afraid I’m going eat Maude up, she’s just so delicious). Tomorrow I am going to wake up early so I can help get Ava ready for school and then it’s off to Oxford Street and Covent Garden! I’m so excited; I’ve captured lots of great photos in these areas before. Expect a very long post tomorrow I’m sure!!
Love to everyone! Xoxoxoxoxox
