pennies in the thames: Reading Week Festivities

Canterbury architecture

This past week was reading week so I spent most of it catching up on rest and trying to get onto a more normal sleep schedule. Nothing too eventful happened, just a lot of hanging out around the dorm and I went to this awesome Mexican restaurant in Notting Hill called Taqueria with my friend Brittany. We had a really nice time there and both were excited to eat Mexican food (it's not all that popular here in England).

I went to Canterbury with my friend Zim for a day to explore a bit and we had a really nice time. It was a very cute, quaint town and very "Olde English" in appearance. When we first arrived we went to a tea house called Tiny Tim's Tea House and the food was fabulous! The dessert plate was especially delicious.

After tea we wanted to check out the Canterbury Cathedral. It's a really famous cathedral where the Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader. We only saw it from afar as they charge about £8 to enter or even get closer to it, which was a bit odd. So after we saw that main attraction we just shopped a bit walked around the town. Toward the end of our time there we were pretty exhausted so we just chatted and hung out at a pub for awhile before the trek back to London. I have a few photos from that but I'll add more photos from that once I get the rest of them from her. Cheers!

Later in the week we went to an event during the day that we thought was going to be a brunch but actually ended up being more of like a dance party. That was a bit strange as it was in the middle of the day, but we had fun.
