Yo Sushi!

This is the name of the restaurant we ate in Saturday night. It is a sushi place where the food comes out on a conveyor belt that goes down the whole length of the restaurant and then comes back to the sushi chef, then around again. You just look at what is going by and if looks good you take it. The color of the dish tells you how much it costs. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not.

During the day Saturday we went to Notting Hill and the world-famous Portabello Market. It was the longest outdoor market I have ever seen. The stands are along the sidewalk on both sides of Portabello Street the entire length of Notting Hill. Everything you can imagine is there, including fresh produce that looked delicious. I learned a good lesson there however. Don't buy any cute, summery and inexpensive dresses there. More on that later...

In Notting Hill we found the cutest bakery! It is called Hummingbird Bakery and had a line to get in so we figured it must be good. They had all kinds of cupcakes and cakes. Mandy had a piece of strawberry cake and I had vanilla cake which we ate there. The slices were HUGE and so sweet and so delicious. We also bought some cupcakes to take back to the hotel, also delicious. Yummy!

I have been eating a lot on this trip, but also walking miles a day and climbing stairs constantly. After only two weeks I can already see a difference in my stamina and strength, and my feet hardly ever hurt anymore! I need to keep up some of this when I get home, even though I am looking forward to sitting on the couch (or bed) and catching up on my tivo.
