London - July 10


We got off to a very slow start this morning. We planned on going to another market today. And we did that we just go going late. Seems it was more fun to sit around and do very little that to get up and get moving. S
ometimes you need time to unwind from all the activities.

We did get to the "Sunday market" finally. Once again it was overwhelming. Much of this one was devoted to craft type of stuff. There were paintings, specially designed shirts, mostly though it was devoted to women's clothing and jewelry. We all know that women drive the economy and so most of the market was devoted to them. We did buy a couple of small items in the crafty category. They should look nice displayed when we get home.

The was also a food contingent here. You could get pretty much anything under the sun. I has some curried chicken over rice that was very good. Neil says you can't miss with market food. Bonnie has a three salad dish. One salad was broccoli, and the the other two looked like they were pasta of some type. Everyone said their meals were very good.

This day trooping around in London was another of those hard to believe days. This market was beyond anythin
g I had seen before. But then a city of 8 million with 250,000 or so tourists on any given day should be pretty much indescribable.

When we got h
ome we just kind of lounged around for a couple of hours. Megan sent an email about chatting on Skype this evening and we did about 9:15 London time. But before we talked with Meg we went to the corner pub and had dinner. Meals were excellent and reasonably priced.

Even though the list of activities is short for this day the day was full and we were ready for the sack when it came time to go.
