nothing like froyo to battle a bit of homesickness

I stumbled upon this a froyo place today, and just in time now that I'm beginning to miss California, the sun, and even Brown!  Some may recall that towards the end of last semester, I just couldn't wait to get out.  It sort of brings to mind how caught up I get with planning for the future, and how easily I miss time enjoying the present.

That said, London has been great!  There's always so much happening and so much I have yet to do.  Sometimes I feel as though the city itself is a challenge, something I have to triumph over.  When the weather gets better, I definitely want to spend some time going around on foot again.  There's a certain kind of joy that comes with bumping into things unexpectedly that you can't quite find elsewhere.

I'll be sure to make the most out of my next few months, even as I continue to struggle with papers, exams, and a seemingly never-ending internship application process. 

At first glance, Frae's kind of like Pink Berry in that they only serve a couple flavors with a choice of some toppings.  Being a Californian, I'm more used to the cheap, free-flowing, 12 flavor machines with unlimited toppings.  Frae being nothing of that sort, I went for a smoothie, which was actually surprisingly good.  It tasted healthy if that makes sense.  It wasn't too sweet nor too creamy.  And it wasn't so thick and freezing that it induces a brain freeze every time you manage to suck up a chunk without bursting a lung (Juniper).  It had just the right amount of fruitiness and tartness in my opinion.  I will definitely be back to try their main attraction.
