Borough Market and All's Well That Ends

Yesterday, I met up with my friend Andrew from New Orleans (he's been in town this week) and headed down to the Borough Market, which is a huge farmer's market that runs on Thurs, Fri and Sats.  It is underneath the rail on the Sounthbank of London.  That area of town is really interesting becasue it is the old port of London, and has cobblestone streets and many warehouses...you can almost imagine what it would've looked like way back in the day.  The Market has all different kinds of stalls, and you can get almost anything there.  We ended up eating meatpies for lunch and they were really tasty :-)

Further in the Market...the stall on the right is selling Turkish Delights

After lunch, we caught a matinee performance of ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL at Shakespeare's Globe Theater (which is about a 10min walk from the market).  We had much better seats for this performance than Darrel and I did the last time we saw something at the Globe.  It's quite brilliant watching a Shakespeare play here in London (let alone at The Globe), because the English have such a better understanding of the language...it's much easier to understand and follow  than having an American try to perform.

The play is about to begin...
