hiding out in Lille

It's official!!!!! our next stop will be in Lille, France
the home of many famous flemish painters. we will be in
Lille for two days and then catch the night train to munich
on monday night.
As for today here is what we did. We got up early to
purchase our tickets to Lille...thought a little stop off
the beaten path might be a nice change. Then we went to
purchase Bart's inter-rail pass and waited in line for
about an hour. following that our next stop was to
Portobello Market....yes folks the market that hugh grant
walks through in nottinghill...the beauty of all of the
fresh fruits and vegetables and flowers was amazing. We
even managed to poke through some of the vintage
clothing....don't worry mom...i avoided all of it so you
don't have to worry that i'm gonna come home with a hideous
outfit from the 1960's. At around 5pm we zoomed through
the Tate modern museum (known for its controversial
curatorial method of sorting works by subject matter rather
than period). on our way home we walked through hyde park
to see the peter pan sculpture...the one that is replicated
in Hook the movie. well that's our trip thus far. Next
time you hear from me....we'll be well somewhere else..:)
