8/23 -8/26/24 Greenich area, Fish & Chips

Spent one night at Louise's flat. She took me out to the oldest pub on the Thames.  Delicious and a busy Saturday night.

Bus trip down to Spitalfelds. A fun market area.  Again beer and chips, my new favorite.

LLouise took me to Greenich and it was nice seeing a new area.  I got to walk under the Thames River which was fun.

Tide out on River Thames.

Little drizzle most of the day.

My friend Louise, who

 has had a life of travel and living 

abroad in many countries.  

 

London 8/23 -24 2024 What a City

 Time is going fast.

Took a 2-hour train ride to Bourmouth to visit my friend Gulsen.  We met on a Friendship Force trip in 2018 in Mexico.  Visited her when I was in London with Cheryl.  She's so nice.  Cooked me a lovely breakfast and took me out in the country to see wild horses and heather in bloom, purple....a first for me.  Lovely.  A bit of a drizzly day, but this is England.

Fell in love with her origami boat

People from Japan.  I want to learn

to make this.  Said it takes 6 hours for a pro.

Beautiful tree with red berries

Heather, overcast so doesn't

Show purple as bright.

We saw probably over 100

Wild horses in the area.

Little village

Quite a roof

Thatched roof.  This bird is the thatchers
