March: In like a lion...

Wow. 2 months down...a few more weeks to go. Well, with the semester at least. Then I have quite a bit of travel ahead of me before I return home.

As soon as March came around, the weather suddenly became BEAUTIFUL. The past 2 days have by far been the prettiest days I've seen here. I took advantage of this on Thursday and went for a morning run in Hyde Park. This was my first run since being here (tsk tsk!), and let's just say it wasn't pretty. Oh well, it's a starting point. Hyde Park is one of my favorite spots in London. There are no leash rules in the park, so you constantly have dogs running past you. This morning I returned to the park to walk around and take some long overdue pictures. We received a bit of rain on Wednesday, so there are a bunch of mud puddles along the pathways. A few of the bigger dogs decided to roll in these much to the horror of their owners. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile...it was great fun.

After Hyde Park I went over to Portobello Road's famous market. It was a lot of fun. I didn't see anything worth buying this time around, but it was great fun nonetheless.

Pretty much everyone in the house except me has family/friends visiting this weekend. Therefore, I am hanging out with me, myself, and I for a few days. It's a weird, yet nice, feeling to be alone for awhile after being with people 24/7 for 2 months. I almost don't know what to do with myself. I originally considered a trip to Belgium this weekend but decided against it. I'm now kicking myself over that decision. Oh well. Tomorrow I booked myself a tour of Warwick Castle, Oxford University, and Stratford-Upon-Avon. It should be fun!
