Cheerio from London! Mel and I have been wandering the city indulging in food, wine and entertainment.
I arrived on Thursday in the late afternoon and we took the opportunity to simply walk the city (but not after getting to FaceTime with Matt and the girls!) Mel lives in the city center in an area called Clerkenwell / Farringdon on the north side of the river Thames. It's a hip area full of publishing houses and the like. We walked down to the river through the Smithfield meat market, across the bridge leading to the Tate Museum, through the Borough Market, past Saint Paul's Cathedral, across the London Bridge, and eventually back to Farrigdon to eat dinner at a great place called the Giant Robot.

On Friday we continued to walk the city checking out some of the city's many markets they have, taking advantage of it being a workday so places like Spitalfields Market were not overwhelmed by crowds. We picked up a few little goodies but mostly walked around looking at the homemade crafts, clothes and such.
