Fin de semana

No mucho para reportar ya que estuve aislada en la biblioteca haciendo un trabajo para la facu. El sabado a la noche fui al cumple de Nati en un bar por Embankment llamado Motion. Ahi nos quedamos hasta la 1am mas o menos y de ahi caminamos hasta Piccadilly para tomar el bondi. En la calle como siempre gente descontrolada, habia mucha cana sobre todo en Leicester Square...El domingo me lo tome "off" ya que lunes no laburo asi que me junte con las chicas (Luz, Lula y Nati) en High St Kensington y dimos vueltas por ahi. Despues cafecito en Cafe Nero una tipica cadena que hay aca. Las cadenas de cafes abundan: Starbucks, y Coffee Republic, Costa (me olvide alguno?).

Victorian London
COFFEE, &c., IN LONDON. The best cup of coffee to be had in London is at the Cigar Divan, 102, Strand. You pay 1s. to enter the Divan, which will entitle you to a cup of coffee and cigar, and the privileges of the room, the newspapers, chess, &c. Coffee may be had good at Verrey's, corner of Hanover-street, Regent-street, at 6d. a cup ; and still better at Croom's, 16, Fleet-street, for only 3d. (Ask for a small cup.) For ices, go to Gunter's in Berkeley-square, and Granges in Piccadilly, over against Bond-street, and for cool drinks to Sainsbury's, 177, Strand. The best buns are to be had at Birch's, 15, Cornhill, and at Caldwell's, 42, Strand.
COFFEE HOUSES. The first coffee-house in London was established in 1657, in St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill, near the present Jamaica and Madeira Coffee-house; the second was established by a person named Farr, at the Rainbow, 15, Fleet-street, now the Rainbow Tavern.
