Late Tide

I spent the afternoon repacking my new luggage, which weighs a ton by the way. By 3:00 I was antsy and ready to go so I headed out for the river even though low tide wasn't until 7:00. I'm glad I went as early because it took me forever to find a place that I could actually access the water. I walked 3 mi in total before I found a spot that was suitable to mud lark in. I ended up going across the London bridge I turned a corner in there it was. Didn't find anything horribly interesting but it was still fun. All in all I was able to spend almost 2 hours on the river.
Another gal was also mud larking and I asked her if she found anything. She told me she found a coin which got me all sorts of excited. She said she thought it wasn't very old and she also thinks that it was American. She asked me if I knew anything about American coins. I smiled and asked her to show it to me. With that one sentence she kind of stopped and looked at me and then started laughing. She realized I was American and I would most definitely be able to help her identify her coin. It was a quarter from the '70s. We had a good chuckle. I was able to make my way home before dark and I was able to not only mud lark but explore various neighborhoods in London while I was looking for entrances. Nobody has air conditioning here so there were tons of people outside sending themselves some various benches and parks that are all over the city. Most of the women were sending themselves without any clothes on. Maybe a string for their butt crack and that's about it. And the guys weren't much better. It was an interesting spectacle to see all the naked bodies spread out over various parks with screaming happy children running between various bodies.Meer informatie
