Jacqueline and I walked to Borough Market around lunch time to see what all the fuss was about. It took s much longer than normal because we detoured through every area of green we saw. We also stopped to watch a really great guitarist on the street in front of The National Gallery. He was so mesmerizing, we stood there for at least 45 minutes. Once we made it, we weren't sure we were in the right spot, but we eventually realized we were just on the outside of it. It is actually a really cool place, but it's so overwhelming. There are food stands with different cuisines, but there is also a fresh market area where we can get fresh fruits, veggies, meat, cheese, and bread. Jacqueline got a salted beef sandwich for lunch, and I had a bite, but it was just like salty roast beef on bread with mustard. It was being sold at most of the stands there, though, so she though it was worth a try.

We walked around the area for a while and to The Shard, before we started to head back. It looked like it was getting ready to rain though, so we hopped on the nearest metro and rode back, which was great because me feet hurt so badly. I went running in the morning, and then we walked another few miles to get to the market. I was exhausted.

We went back to Aleesia's and just hung out until 8, then we met back up later to go out. We left for a pub around 10:30, but we ended up back home at 11:30. It wasn't that exciting, but we did play more cards. Peanuts is really bringing everyone together, it's really interesting. When new people try to join, my friends will start explaining the game to them and I feel like a proud mom.
