Day 17 (7/14/16)

Woke with a migraine.  I have been getting them quite frequently. I think it is a combination of tension/stress and weather.  So Ron and the kids went to breakfast downstairs while I rested some more.

Then we headed to Tavistock, which is about 10 miles away, for a public market.

We ate lunch in the market. I had a ham, brie, and cranberry sauce sandwich.  The ham and brie were warmed, it was delicious!  We walked the market and checked out all the vendors and their goods.  I bought a pair of wool slippers.
Ahhh, comfy slippers!
I have been wishing I had my slippers in the hotel in the evening, so I decided to get some.  It is funny what things you truly miss when you don't have your stuff.

After walking the market we went to walk around the town. It has a very old world feel, much like the Barbican.

 Right down to the delivery truck off loading half cows and full pigs to the butcher shop.

 The kids were intrigued by that and insisted we walk down to the truck and look.  There were lots of great shops and boutiques to visit.

We came back to town and went to the base to get my access card.  The kids ran around the football (soccer) field to burn some energy.  We picked up some pizza on the way back to the hotel.  It was awful!! Their version of sausage was sliced hot dogs. ICK! Even without that, it was bad. We will not go back there.

    1. I didn't remember the corn on the pizza in Romania. I do remember all the food was quite different that what we were used to. Yes, everyday is an adventure.
