MARKET DAY!!

today is saterday and in the world of orintating londerners that is market day, most markets in london don't open till about 10 which rockes for those of us who like to sleep in! we still got a later start then intended but that was ok cause it meant that the day just started slower which after the caous of what has normally been happening its wonderful. we decided to go to portabella market because it would have fresh fruits and veggies, Camden market is the main place to go but it is open every day and portabella only on saterdays maybe Sundays i don't know. portabella market is also a antiques market so we had to skim though some of that stuff before we got to the fruits and veggies. if you know how crowded new York is in like times square when there is a star or something going on and how things move then, then you might have an idea of how crowded the market was. there were so many people and so much stuff it was ridiculous! there were even random cars going through that would not be fun cause you would have to wait on people to move out of your way and for the most part they had no idea you were there or they had no way to get out of your way it was slow moving for the people in the cars. everyone seemed to be having a great time and you could pretty much tell who the true Londoners were because they were the ones who would go up to a stand know what they wanted and how to get it and how much to pay for it and all those things. and all the tourists myself included were the ones taking pictures of the market and wondering around and all about being confused. it was even more confusing because they are doing work on the underground (which is not always underground there are a few above ground stops) which closed down the whole circle line, which is the main line we get on to get home.so we had to be rerouted through buses, we finally got the tube system almost down then we have to try and lean the bus system too? thats a bit to much its the same way for the londeners i believe. oh their closing down the tube stations for work so it will look better and be more equipped for the Olympics in 2012, from the bus driver who brought us in to london the first day said that they are on budget and on time for now. back to the market, there were lots of cool things there and the staples, apples oranges, blood oranges, spinach, just about anything you could want, they even had this weird little fruit i guess it was and now i can't remember the spelling of it but it was small and a orangeish red, and kinda spiky all over, we asked one of the stall keepers what it was and she lets us try one! you peel of the skin and inside its kinda meaty and sweet, even though they were small you wouldn't want more than one or two at a time. i think i might be getting some of those soon for a sweet snack.
since it was like absolutely freezing outside we only lasted a few hours but it was worth it and so much fun! we went back home for lunch since we had bought groceries earlier and thought that we should probably use them.we ended up talking with a few other people in the kitchen until almost dinner time. right before dinner i had to help another person go and get her groceries cause she hadn't gotten any yet. when we got back everyone was busy at cooking when i finally got to cooking (i had spinach and regatta catiolini in a tomato basil sauce with montzarella cheese on top) i kinda burnt most of my sauce cause i left it in too long. i  read how long it said to leave it in there but i guess something was wrong it was really good even without a lot of sauce. after dinner some of us were just sitting around talking which had been a lot of fun... well for all but the lone guy at the table, we kinda got off on some feminist rants :) and not just me that boy though knows more than many of the boys here about girls if he actually listened to our conversations cause we completely forgot he was there, he could definitely if he wanted to do a study on girls and how we interact cause we forget he's there sometimes cause he's always around. ok so back to what i was getting at when i started this paragraph sorta... another boy had come in by this time and he had started reading as you were by Shakespeare one of the girls there asked him to read it aloud so he started to, when there was a character change he asked the other boy at the table to help him and so began our night of Shakespeare! i helped by reading Rosalind and a few other characters but it was much fun! we got to act three and we shall finish it tomorrow night. they all have to read it for their theater class plus we are going to be seeing that play on Tuesday night the first theater night!! i am very excited! now though i must read frankenstine for one of my classes so until later,
from london with love
