Yeah, so Portobello road is pretty magical. Tons of vendors selling tons of stuff! There's foods of all kind! Jewelery! Lace! Clocks! Silver! Old Vinyls! Purses! Shoes! Leather work! Furs! The song wasn't kidding! The sights and sounds and colors and the hundreds of people!

There are treasures and antiques everywhere! It's quite amazing really! They have something for everyone! 

Looking Down Portobello Road with the crowd

Seriously. They have everything.

Iris and I spent tons of time sifting through racks of hats and scarves and skirts Oh my.

I bought veggies from the market and went home an cooked a great veggie pasta dinner!

The food vendors have tons of people lined up to feed. I got a giant Bratwurst with sauerkraut and mustard. The best I've had since I lived in Germany. 

Strange model for such an outfit, but to each his own.

Such a magical colorful place it is!

 Cute cat.  Candace, I took this pic for you. :)

Portobello road is one place I really am going to miss when I leave. The whole neighborhood of Notting Hill is great and magical. Little shops and interesting people!
