Crowds!

 Covent Garden, London

Seriously, look at all these people!

Crazy street entertainer

We were tired, but we still craved adventure. I had heard about going to Covent Garden in London and it did not let us down. Despite the enormous crowds, we were entertained by a street vendor, some amazing specialty shops and an outdoor art fair. Sue looked as though the crowds were giving squeezing the life out of her. It surprised me because she NEVER complained. After we had watched this crazy guy entertain us for awhile, I asked her how she was doing. She exclaimed, "These crowds are killing me."

There were some upsides to this place. The people were kind despite there being a TON of them. And, we got to see an outdoor bachelorette party and some singing waitresses, and of course, the basic street vendors hawking their wares. It reminded me of the a baseball game with people shouting at you and trying to lure you into spending money. Too bad these people didn't know we were Battys and very picky about who we opened up our billfolds for!

Sampling teas

This was serious, so we made our way out of the people and found, you guessed it...another pub to catch our breath. Serious situations called for serious measures! Fortunately, our little rest stop helped us relax and plan our next step. What it called for eventually was a taxi back home and an early night to bed.
