"I Love London"

I've been in London for nearly 3 months now, with a little less than 3 to go. I can't say I've seen all of London, or anything close but having the amazing Amanda Eberhardt and Ashley Merriweather visit me from Madrid, Spain made me fall in London all over again.


 I'm not the artsy type. I'm not punk. And while vintage is nice, the idea itself scares me. But I loved visiting Camden with these two chicas.  The overcrowded market smelling of Indian, Moraccan and Indian food reminded me of just why I chose London. Seeing tourists and locals all enjoying the beautiful sunny day in Camden is definitely one of my best experiences since I've been here. Going to a market on a sunny day, is as close as paradise as you can get in London.
And while its great in the day, its just as good as night. Camden is everything that central London is not. It's low key, sultry and fun. Vinyl Bar & The Blues Kitchen were our destinations and while neither were exactly what we expected, they both had their fun. Vinyl Bar had a good dj and nice vibe, too bad we were about 20 years too young for the crowd lol. The Blues Kitchen had a fun crowd and we all left having learned a new dance courtesy of the redhead that was getting it on the dancefloor with her husband/boyfriends/whatever.Despite the fact nothing was perfect. The memories were priceless.
