Carolyn took Philip with her for an early morning meeting near her office, and they spent the day together at various markets and at the London Zoo. Donna and I took the tube to Borough Market, the largest open air food market in London and the one of the largest, we are told, in the world. We couldn't begin to explore all of it, and after wandering around the stalls for about an hour decided have a fish and chips lunch. We shared a fried haddock lunch that was excellent, not greasy at all, lightly floured and flavorful without any fishy smell.
We found a stall selling Turkish Delight, even better than the candy we had in Turkey. Bought much too much of it and ended up leaving most of it in the London apartment when we left on Saturday. That was about all we managed on Thursday. Carolyn, Philip and Vasilis were late getting back to the apartment and had just a few minutes to get ready for the dinner reservations we had in the theater district.Dinner was fine, an Italian restaurant, and we walked to the Palace Theater to see Singin' in the Rain. It was delightful, and Philip was obviously enjoying it, perhaps a bit too much for the lady sitting in front of him as he stood laughing at several scenes.
