hihihi

hope you don't think i am not enjoying my vacation... someone wrote to say that i sounded lukewarm about it. i am not. i think i am just realizing a lot about my own city of washington, dc. that it suits me fine. which isn't to say that london isn't lovely. it is. old and lovely.

today we did some markets.... one of which was camden town, which someone who is in the know told us to just avoid because while people say it is cool. it really isn't. she was right right right! i think my tastes in clothes and things have totally gotten weird because i walked around for all this time without finding anything to buy. and this was supposed to be my big big shopping day. everything just seemed too, well, trying to be cool. i finally found this lady making jewelry with guitar picks and army men. pretty cool. i got a bracelet. i also got loads of knee socks, which might become my newest fashion. what else? have i told you about the cadbury? oh my. cadbury machines everywhere everywhere. all i think about is chocolate. the window of our hotel looks out over a room where women are making clothes. i like to watch them. i am sure they don't enjoy my staring.

got an email today that the q and not u venue has changed. lovely. haha. and they are playing with red monkey. that is rad, though.

tomorrow is the portobello market, which was recommended... and the Imperial War muesuem for Jeff. Also, another little gallery since they are far better than the big uns.

The lobby of our hotel this evening was full of scottish santas. And one guy in a scooby doo suit. Funny. Funny. Super funny.

more tomorrow.
