Ok, I’m going to break a cardinal rule of mine and post a picture of others (I usually choose ones where you can’t tell who they are or I don’t post them at all – sorry PBs! Hope you don’t mind). I just got back from a mini reunion with my pledge bros for AKPsi and I wanted to share that. While it was only about a third of our class getting together, it was nice to at least see some familiar faces again after all this time. It’s been years since I’ve caught up with many of them and I feel so out of touch with their lives! Here we are 7 years later and so much has changed, yet they pretty much all look the same to me. That’s good, right? It’s nice to be able to reconnect with them briefly and revisit old memories. Oddly enough, we ended up eating at a place with great meaning for us completely unintentionally. What an appropriate setting for us to get together again. It’s great to see how they’re doing in their lives now and I hope to have more reunions for all those friends I’ve lost touch with.

UK Vacation Day 8 Recap
I can’t believe it’s been nearly four months since this trip and I’m still updating on it. Only two more to go after this one!
Day 8 was a chill day, with a late checkout and leisurely stroll from the hotel to the train station. We swung by the Co-operative, a grocery store, and the House of Fraser, a chain that reminds me of Macy’s. We wandered along the quiet of Rose Street and found ourselves some cookie tins commemorating Prince George at the train station. The train from Edinburgh to London took most of the day and once we were settled back, we got dinner at Nando’s. Since we got drink vouchers at the hotel, we stopped by the bar to get drinks (sodas) before calling it a night.
[Miss some? Read about Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7 recaps.]
I think the only time I eat breakfast is at hotels.
A random sighting in our way to the train station. Girl Scouts, anyone?
I love the small streets like these.
Onto the train and back down to London we go.
It’s so picturesque!
Excited to be back in London!
Which way to platform 9 3/4?
Looks rather futuristic in here.
Taking a pit stop to use the wifi before heading down to the tube.
Back at our hotel in Victoria!
We found this chicken place called Nando’s.
Grab some nuts while you wait.
They have all kinds of tasty sauces.
I opted to try their pita, mashed potatoes, and garlic bread. Delicious!
Panda got the grilled dark meat, rice, and garlic bread.
The newer double deckers look so sleek.
