Day Three: Onto the Outskirts of Nowhere (London)



Some new experiences of the senses...

In the Blink of an Eye:
Kayakers practicing at the new 2012 Olympic site:
Lee Valley White Water Center.
People are already practicing and watching.

Within Ear shot:
The bells on our bicycles as we needed to pass people by along the canal path
during our 20 miles bike ride!

Nose Sniffing:
Frankincense burning at the Ethopian restaurant when having coffee.
It smelled like Catholic mass.

Hand Grazed:
The handle on the gate of Cheshunt Lock.
They push these open to let the houseboats through.

Still Savoring:
Banana fudge from Scotland that my aunt brought back from her trip last weekend.
I don't know that it helped my jet lag or not.

New Words:
"Trumble along to the calf" - Uncle Albert
...or "Get off your laptop and let's get there already."

Just Met:
Richard, a tai-chi-ing graphic designer, from Australia.
Lindy, a tango dancer, from South Africa.
Between us and my Uncle Albert four continents were represented through dinner.

And on my way...
