WinchesterWe can check another UK town off the list. We took the train to Winchester yesterday. Winchester, in Southern England was formerly the capital of England during the 10th century. It's famous for a Cathedral (we're finding that to be a theme of English towns), a castle, and a mill that still functions today. http://www.visitwinchester.co.uk/

London weekendAfter waiting for several hours for the plumber to show up (and he didn't), we decided to head to the London Zoo on Saturday. Once there, and while standing in line for tickets, we noticed an ominous looking rain cloud coming to spoil what had appeared to be, a perfect weather day. Rather than seeing wet zebras and letting zebras see wet Noris, we left. On the walk back, we snapped a few great shots of the sun-shower. Near the zoo, is Camden Town - several streets/markets specializing in goth and club scene items, and other items that people in their silver years would probably not purchase. http://www.camdenlock.net/On Saturday night we went with several friends to a Tex-Mex place not too far from where we live called Cactus Blue http://www.cactusblue.co.uk/
Just as the rain was stopping.
One of the locks near Camden... if you look close enough, you'll see a rainbow over the brick building.

The shower. The idea of keeping water in the shower/tub area does not apply. 99% of the flats we saw last year had this arrangement. I've been to some hotels on business travel this year that don't even have the 1/4 wall that you see here. I just don't get it...
This is a large one, we were told. I have to admit, we buy a lot less food and throw away much less. But yes, we hit the grocery store 2-3 times per week.
