July 21st, 2011: Tadaaaaaa! we decided to go to... King's Cross Station, home of the Platform 9 3/4. If you're into Harry Potter you'll know what this means.

21 de Julio de 2011: Tatararaaa! decidimos ir a King's Cross, hogar del anden 9 y 3/4. Si te gusta Harry Potter sabras lo que significa.

King's Cross Station + St. Pancras

(it's a coincidence we're both wearing gray, I swear!)
Es una coincidencia que ambas vayamos de gris, en serio!

The real platform was under construction and King's Cross is a mess of contruction workes, noise and busy people. So us, Harry Potter fans, have to be happy with this shitty poster. It's okay though...

--

El anden real esta siendo reformado y King's Cross es un follon con tantos obreros, ruidos y gente ocupada. Asi que nosotros, los fans de Harry Potter, tenemos que contentarnos con un cacoso poster. No importa...

After getting caught in the rain and a quick stop to Starbucks, we got inside the British Library, which is beside St. Pancras.

Despues de que la lluvia nos pillara y tras parar un segundo en Starbucks, entramos en la British Library *Biblioteca Britanica*, que esta al lado de St. Pancras.

"The King's personal library"

St. Pancras and a very attractive Vicky (please, notice the sarcasm)
St. Pancras y Vicky, muy atractiva (notese el sarcasmo)

On our way home, we saw this street. "Elm Street" like in "A Nightmare on Elm Street". 1, 2, Freddy's coming for you...

---
De camino a casa vimos esta calle. "Elm Street" como en "Pesadilla en Elm Street". 1, 2, Freddy viene a por ti...

And finally, our every night ritual: we go to Carmen's room with our take away food, tie our hair in a knot and then... this happens.
--

Y por ultimo, nuestro ritual de cada noche: vamos a la habitacion de Carmen con nuestra comida para llevar, nos hacemos un chuflo en el pelo y... esto es lo que pasa.

Oh, and we almost forgot! there's an AWESOME Science-Fiction exposition at the British Library (Eauston Road, London)... and a great gift store/book store.
So yeah... sorry, credit card. We had to!!!!

Y casi se nos olvida! hay una exposicion genialosa sobre Ciencia Ficcion en la British Library (Eauston Road, London)... y una GRAN tienda de regalos/libros.
Asi que si... lo sentimos, tarjeta de credito. Teniamos que hacerlo!!!!
