Today Matt & I went to Borough Market to seek out the freshest foods in London. My sole goal was to find some Provolone cheese that cannot be found anywhere in London. I had heard if you can find it anywhere, it’d be at the Borough Market....uh, no such luck. So instead we ventured through and through again and again finding a little something more interesting each time. We ended up buying some eggplant, oranges, plums, cucumbers, cheese, and wine along with a wonderful chicken burger and hawaiian smoothie for lunch. While on the banks of the Thames we opted to go for a nice walk (and were greeted with some strong winds) to the Tower of London and Tower Bridge via London Bridge (not to be confused between the two!). After an exhausting several hours we returned home and enjoyed a nice meal of mediteranean chicken and eggplant with our artisan rosemary bread. Yum!!
It would definitely be a great area of the city to live in just to have those fresh goods at your back doorstep. Unfortunately no such luck, but when Matt finishes school we will definitely be looking for a more adventurous and quite place to hang our hats. Keep in touch everyone and we’ll meet again soon!
