LAST WEEKEND IN LONDON: DAY 3 PART I

The last day of my last weekend in London arrived and I was feeling a bit sadden that my time in this magnificent city was almost over.  I left out at about 12:30 with Quita the TA on our trip to Spitalfields market and Brick lane Market. I have previously been to both but that was during the week and the markets are the best on Sundays. We met up with some of the other girls who live on Baker Street and we all headed out to explore the market. One our first stand stops were Flavortown cupcakes after hearing praise from Quita, these were some of the best cupcakes I have ever had in my life. They weren't overly sweet and the cake was moist. After exploring Spitalfields we headed towards Brick Lane which had a warehouse full of food stands and streets filled with stands for everything.  We all had lunch from the same Chinese stand and fresh pina colada from a stand where you could decide if you want it in a cup or pineapple; I chose the cup but soon wished I had chosen the pineapple.  Once we finished lunch we headed out to explore Brick Lane and Petticoat Lane.  Then we all headed back to our flats for some rest and around 7:00 we headed out to Abbey Road to make the famous Beatles walk.  Arriving at Abbey Road we found a crowd of people at the cross walk trying to maneuver traffic to get the perfect picture. The cross walk is busy intersection but have zebra lights, which mean the cars have to stop and let you cross or they face a heavy fine. We stood for a little bit and watched other people attempted the walk then we crossed to see Abbey Road Studios which is actually a really plain building other than the fence where everyone who has visited signed the wall. We quickly realized none of us had a sharpie so we couldn't sign the wall. We then headed to the Abbey Road sign to take pictures. Now it was time for us to do our Beatles walk. Me, Quita, Christine, and Jessica waited at the cross walk for the Mallory, Jaime, Hope, and Lindsay to join us. While we were waiting we observed everyone else, practiced our walk, and made sure we had everything timed perfectly; this is important at a heavy traffic intersection. The girls arrived and it was time for our lovely walk which we perfectly did on the first try without getting hit or honked at.
