mmm food.

despite being vegan, i always enjoy eating while traveling. people don't generally sing the praises of british food... and in the traditional sense, i wouldn't either... but there is plenty of very good food to be had in london, as in most cities, really. ellie took me to a couple of lovely places, most notably, the riding house cafe, but the best thing i ate on this trip was a bean burger from gourmet burger kitchen. i know, i know... it's a chain... but that burger was like... heaven. maybe it was because i was starving, but i don't think so... it was one of the highlights of my trip. for real. another notable was the above sorbet at some italian place where tim and i had lunch. it was delicious... and cute. i had a hard time eating it because i didn't want to ruin the perfect, sweet little bit of togetherness happening between the pink and white scoops.

anywayyyy.

with big ben in the distance. and i see an egg that i missed.

ellie and i took a day on brick lane... this store had beautiful jewelry accented with taxidermied birds. the birds were already dead, found, and "humanely taxidermied."

the big egg hunt.

the big egg hunt is a charity fundraising campaign in aid of action for children and elephant family, sponsored by faberge. 200+ artists, celebrities, and designers created/painted metre high fiberglass eggs scattered across selected london locations. the hunt started feb 21st and londoners have 40 days to locate the various eggs around the city. while i was there, 2 eggs went missing, but i think they have since been found.
