Today we worked out of London. We should do it again. Kids went to Albert and Victoria museum with Irina and her boyfriend Ryris. They all really liked it. Afterwards they walked around in Hyde park and gradually walked over to St James park where we met them towards the end of the day. There is a great fountain in Hyde park for kids to splash in. It even has lifeguards on duty.
We hopped to Covent Market and Festival Gardens.What a beautiful happy area. There were multiple street performances taking place. Interesting stores and restaurants. Great place to come back to with kids. We also visited Camden Market. Another area not to miss. It is fascinating in its own way.

Dan found some awesome bookstores. He was very excited. We got some good books to take home.
Baby swans are growing up fast. They are a bit smaller than grown swans. Their bellies and wingtips are starting the lighten up. I wonder how fast the beaks will turn orange. Their baby gray color is probably to make them less visible to the predators. They spend all their awake hours grooming. It feels like they much be constantly itching. Both parents continue to accompany them everywhere fiercely pecking other swans when tourists feed them. 
Almost forgot. Last night there was a night market at our Market square. A bunch of food restaurants completely filled the little space available. We tried lots of things but the best thing was the DJ playing old style honky tonk music and a bike that was rigged to the bubble machine. Kids were going crazy over there .We enjoyed watching them have fun. There was a mature local flower child who tried to party too under the discouraging eye of parents. There were also some grown up people without kids watching. Local pedophiles? Probably not all of them.
Super! Dan looks like a kid in that photo...get in touch w/Vlad while in London, since he's moving soon!
