On Saturday I woke up and it had snowed!!! I went with the girls to Portobello Rd in Notting Hill (yes, where the movie was). Portobello Rd was so amazing- every Saturday morning there are a ton of little cards and fruit/flower stands that have great local and fresh produce. There are also permanent mainstream stores as well on the street. I loved looking at all the carts and different people walking the streets. Notting Hill is a very cute town and had a great pub Alyssa and I went to for lunch called The Duke of Wellington.

Then, we went to the most AMAZING cupcakery I have ever been to in my life called the Hummingbird Cafe. They had delicious home made cupcakes and cakes and delicious cappuccino. I ordered two cupcakes, one with vanilla frosting and vanilla cake that was green, and another cupcake called a red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Yummy!

Saturday night we went to a few pubs on Marlybone street and had fun- the people there were older and definitely locals.

Today has been a lazy day for me- I am tired from all of the traveling. I am almost a Tube expert and I am remembering all of the stops along it. Liz and I booked our flights to Barcelona and I am SO excited!!! We are going April 22-24. :)
