This was our lst day in London and a lovely day it was. No rain and some sun. We were up in time to attend the eucharist at St. Martin's in the Fields at Trafalagar Square. This was a traditional Anglican service with great music and quite a change from the services we attended at Holy Trinity Brompton earlier in our stay. They were having a cake sale after services, so we bought some almond-raspberry tarts and took them with us to Cafe Nero where we had great lattes. The coffee there is Italian and better than Starbucks.
We took the tube to Liverpool Street and walked to Spitalfield Market, not far from the station. It's a big Saturday Market under a roof. It rather looks like a big train station. Liverpool Street is quite a progressive area, lined with new office buildings, quite a strange site around here because so much of the architecture is centuries old.
We met Claire, Rod and Carolyn at the office and went to Brick Lane for Indian food and a farewell dinner. It was within walking distance of where we were earlier today. Really good food and a nice French Sancere. Carolyn drew pictures of us all and we tubed it back to Holborn. She's a great little gal and fun to be around. We said goodbye to Rod, Claire and Carolyn and headed back to the hotel.
Lynne's upstairs packing and I'm updating this blog on the wireless network in the lobby while watching the Euro Cup 2004 final on big screen. We're about 25 minutes into the game and the game is still scoreless.
