Scene 2: I Found Them.

When I was in Spain, I fell in love with milk chocolate digestive cookies that they do not sell in the US.

Guess what I found at Tesco tonight? I AM SO HAPPY.

Other things I did today, my first day in London:

I found a park. Well, I ran into a park. Everyone was sitting on the grass eating lunch. It was sunny, I read my bible, and then I fell asleep. I have jet lag, okay?

I woke up and nothing was stolen. I've started rating an experience as a positive one if nothing was stolen. This includes me being stolen, because after seeing Taken I trust no one.

Also, after traveling in Spain, I've realized that anywhere that I speak the language (which is English- that's all I've got down) is better than anywhere that I don't. So if something doesn't go well, I think, "Well, at least they speak English."

After I found the park, I found a library. This was the London Library, and it was very pretty, and I soon  realized why. IT COST $30 A DAY TO READ THERE.

Obviously that didn't work out.

So I got lunch (from a chain called EAT, which is a lot like Pret) and went back to the hostel, where I researched libraries and found ones that didn't want my firstborn child in exchange for reading material.

Off to Westminster Reference Library, where I learned that people like to sleep in libraries and that this is not allowed. Seriously, three people around me were woken up by the librarians.

I was there for a while, and found some Scotland reading material (aka research) and I'll be back there tomorrow to finish learning.

Then I went to the grocery store! This is where my cookies were purchased. I also got a sandwich for dinner, which is exactly identical to the one I purchased at EAT today. Huh.

All in all, a good day. I just have to remember that when people talk to me, I cannot respond with a mockery of their accent. It just happens.
