7 Days: Day 7 – On the seventh day

30 March 2007

The last day of 7 Days. Today Suzy, Lauren and I headed up to London in the fog and rain. Our main objective was to visit the London Aquarium (to be blogged later), but first of all we headed to Borough Market to introduce Suzy to its sights and smells and – most importantly – free samples. I bought another slice of Comté cheese and a pot of red olive tapenade and all three of us bought a slice of the chocolate “female Viagra” from the crazy Italian guy Lauren and I had encountered on our previous visit.

Lunch was eaten at a cafe just outside the market. A big pot of paella was being tended to on a stove outside the building and looked too delicious to turn down. While we waited for our servings to be dished up, the Spanish guy in charge of the food held forth on politics and the national character of the British, as well as how we were all going to be screwed when America abandoned us. Good to know.
