Oxford Street

Oxford Street is known for it's shopping.  Today was my day off and my dear housemates and I decided to head out to Oxford Street to check out the January sales.  After I skyped in the morning with a friend in India, Josie, Laura and I had a proper "full English."  A full English breakfast includes baked beans, cooked tomato halves, bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, and who knows what else.  I don't eat most of it, but I appreciate the brunch mentality.

Once in central London, we didn't buy much, but the best memories made were when Laura and I found the hat department in Debenham's, a large department store.  We tried on hat after hat, some of the most fantastic hats I've ever seen.  I loved it.  (We did some pictures, which I will gladly share later.)  The one I loved most was £60 (nearly $100).  I woefully placed it back on the hatrack.  I can only imagine what I would need to pay for a suitable dress to wear with a hat of that calibre!  But a girl can dream.

Afterwards, we went to a lovely restaurant we've all said we needed to try.  Realizing that my days here are now few, we chose to go tonight.  I had the best fish and chips I've had in a long time!  My evening came to end with a nice long skype with a friend in Canada.  It has been yet another day of appreciating the relationships I have, nearby and around the world.
