Can you believe it? I'm already writing another post and it's only been a day! crazy.
Today is Saturday which means: MARKETS! Every Saturday, London turns into a hustling and bustling sea of tents full of every kind of clothing, jewlery, food, and anything else you can imagine! A small group of us went to Portobello Market today and got there close to 9 when they open. This was a smart choice because by 10:30, the streets were so packed that we could barely get through! Portobello is a fantastic market full of good smelling foods, colorful clothes, neat antiques, and so much more. I'm talking tent after tent right next to each other for miles down the street. It can be a little overwhelming, but you just take it as it comes and enjoy it for the chaos and magnitude! I wasn't planning on buying anything, but I did find one treasure - an awesome scarf. It's very unique and i didn't see another one like in all the shops and tents so i thought it was worth it. It might be the coolest scarf i've ever seen, haha. After 2 hours of wading through the crowds, we headed back home. I decided to have a more relaxed day and have just been at the Daniel House catching up on my life. Part of that has been uploading pictures, so go check them out on my facebook! Today has been very restful and much needed!
Did i mention the weather has been amazing? We are so blessed with sunny skies, nice breeze, and no rain! It hasn't rained yet (knock on wood). Everything is so much better with good weather.
Anyways, I don't know what I'll do the rest of the day, but it should be fun!
Love you all!
I just read both of your last 2 blogs so my comment may cross the lines. First, I wish I could have seen that Rembrandt with you. (I had flashbacks of the Louvre.) I am so glad you got to go into Buckingham Palace. Sounds like one of those freeze-frame memories. Did you try to get the guards to smile again? Can't wait to see this amazing scarf that you found amongst the chaos of Portobello. It must have been calling out to you. Take a photo with you modeling it so we can see how stunning it is on you! I am remembering the smell of fish and chips and wishing I was there with you! Love you!
