Almost Wordless Wednesday - London

 A restless night - so an early morning - which was REALLY early BC time - from my hotel room.  See that gentle rise - out here they think that is a mountain.

 An historic downtown that switches from quaint to seedy street by street - I think it's trying to revive itself. Some beautiful old buildings

 This logo is everywhere - in case you thought you were in the other London?

 Lots of pocket parks - spaces - this one at the downtown at the Library

 Funky bookstore - I can never resist a good bookstore

 More downtown - Bell Building at the far end - I think if Bell and/or Labatts left town there would be little left.

 The River Thames......seriously......full of Canadian Geese and a black bird that dive bombed my head and gave me quite a fright

 These metal trees in various vibrant colours are all over the downtown

 Covent Garden Market - they take this London thing seriously......

 I counted 80 huge wooden tables and benches outside the market - when I went back at lunch time there were tons of people sitting having lunch - I think Granville Island should take note

 Inside the market - a small scale of Granville Island

 I had my breakfast in the sun - its lovely and warm - lucky I ate as I was about to unknowingly take a 5km walk

 Beautiful churches

 Lots of red brick

 After 5kn with my destination nowhere in sight I hopped on a city bus which detoured through Western University Campus - which is stunning.

I wised up and took the bus back and stopped at the market for some fruit for lunch.....what is that Laura Secord bag doing there?

A little rest for my feet now and then off to register for the conference.
