Summertime!

Yey, Summer is finally here. It was a beautiful, sunny weekend in London. No challenges this weekend because it is very rare that we get weather like this in London. And besides…who likes to cook in hot weather, especially in an small apt?!?! To celebrate the nice weather, we decided to make sure we would spend our time outside as much as possible. On Saturday, my husband and I were invited to go to a Tapas and Wine Festival down around Tower Bridge. I love going to events in London because the city is spread out hence making events much more enjoyable to attend. I know I could just picture this same event in New York City….it would be so cramped and overly crowded. Anyways, we arrived at the festival in the afternoon. Once you walked in, you could pay £2 for 4 tokens to use on wine samples. There were so many stations of wine and food vendors. We had a fabulous time listening to latin music in the sun, tasting wine and eating tapas. It was a perfect day to enjoy the festival.



This weekend was the round two of the World Cup starring the USA vs. Ghana and England vs. Germany matches. On Saturday, we went to a place called Café Kick to watch the USA vs. Ghana game. There were so many people gathered at this venue watching the game. On Sunday, we went to a quiet pub just around the corner where we live called the Queen Bodecia. It was a good spot to end the weekend. Even though both the USA and England lost their game, I still had a good time experiencing watching the World Cup in Europe.




My husband and I decided to end the weekend with a nice picnic at the park. In London, there are many little secret small parks. We tend to walk around the city on the weekends and find many small little parks all over. It’s great to go to one of them when it’s nice out because you get to enjoy the sun with only a couple of people if not by yourself. Well, I hope the weather stays like this for this week/weekend because it was an absolutely perfect weekend.
