Cirque Du Soleil and Portobello Market

Greetings! I'm back again. Two days in a row! I hope everyone is doing well. Today is a very frigidly cold day. The wind is pretty nasty out there. This morning the girls and I went to Portobello Market, but before I get into some details of the market, I want to tell everybody about Cirque Du Soleil because it was incredible!

Ellie, Alicia and I went to the 3:00 showing yesterday. It was another 2 and a half hours of me on the edge of my seat. The people performing were the definition of perfection. They seriously don't miss a beat. From jump ropes to these ladle looking things, the acts were unbelievable. I can't imagine for a second the amount of practice and training they put in for those shows. The strength and ability they all have was an amazing sight to see. They would preform stunts in the air without any cables being attached to them. Just solely relying on their personal strength or the strength of their partner. I was in awe. Once the show was over and I picked my jaw up off the floor, we went and had a very American dinner. Hamburger and french fries. Finally, something very filling and good. That about wraps up my whole day from yesterday.

This morning we all got up and left the flat around 10 to go to Portobello Market. I know that my Aunt Judy would have fallen in love as well as spent the whole entire day there! There was stuff beyond stuff there. It seemed like it would never end. The antiques and food markets were very impressive. Its definitely a sight to see. The enormous number of people the whole way down the street made us wonder how many people actually go there on Saturdays. I know that would be an outrageous number. Anything you could think of would be at the market.

I thoroughly enjoyed my last couple days and wanted to share them with you all. Like always, I wish you could have been there with me. Its hard to explain the impact you get from experiencing these things. I feel like I can't get the whole point across through the blog, but am try to! I hope everyone enjoys their day. I'm off to clean and do homework. Thanks for reading and the thoughts and prayers. Miss yall!

More to come later.......
