Time to head home

Wow! It has been almost a month of travel and it has been great. We have spent the last 3 nights in London with Tony and Ingrid Hodge near the Chalk Farm tube stop. Monday we walked through Hamstead Head - lovely green spaces and perfect weather. We even had a fascinating talk with some local south end Londoners who asked why anyone would want to visit Britain! Interesting slice of a different look at life, immigration, the economy and more:) Later Norm and I checked out the Camden Market. Amazing how much stuff they can fit into one area. Things you will never need! but fun to look at. This was the first time on our holiday that I needed my raincoat. We did get wet but not for long. On Tuesday we walked Tony to work and then continued on to downtown London, looking and buying books (what else). Had lunch at Food for Thought - an excellent vegetarian restaurant Holland recommened last time we were here and it was super! We then we to the Imperial War Museum. Interesting but emotional. Met Tony and Ingrid for a beer at the Salisbury pub and dinner- Japanese meal- delicious! And now we pack for home. First to Paris, then to Toronto and into Vancouver by 5 pm the same day! See you soon.
