Went to a market today after a walking tour of London, with the same guide we had a few days ago, Shaughan (Shawn). He's a great guy, such a hoot. At the market Cody Thie and I got shots of Wheatgrass. No, not alcohol. It was from an Organic Juice Bar. So yes, we ate/drank grass, in honour of being from Iowa where there are lots of cows. They had the little patch of grass on the bar, and the bartender picked a clump, threw it in the juicer, and after it spit out dried blades of grass that looked really disgusting, we drank what was left! It was not good at all, but apparently we are set on vegetable nutrition for the next 3 days, according to a sign there. Also saw the Clink Prison Museum, which sits on the site the prison used to. This is where the expression "the clink" comes from- it was the most dreadful prison in central London in it's time.
Well, this weekend marks the last before classwork begins. I'm having a funderful time so far; I'm sure having classes won't dampen it too much. Last night we went to the International Student House (ISH) and to the pub there, which was a fun time because most of the other patrons are students our age from around the world. A friend and I played three games of pool against two guys we met, one from Zimbabwe and the other born in Africa, but grew up in Denmark. We only won the third game, but should have won them all due to us choking when we were up by a lot and them having odd versions of the rules (but "definately not cheating, my friend!")
