I did a bit of shopping today.  There is an IKEA right down from the hotel... I couldn't help myself; I had to go in!  I needed another book (I don't have a reader), so I went to Waterstone's and settled on Wicked by Gregory Maguire.  It was a beautiful day, so I grabbed my book and headed to the waterfront park.  I did a lot of people watching and a little reading :)  Some were swimming off this little pebble beach there, and a few were swimming off of the docks.  I imagine the water being very cold!  A huge barge came in...

We had dinner with several of Edi's colleagues at Banana Wharf in Ocean Village.  It was quite the global mix: two from the states, two from Ireland, and two from the UK.  It was a nice time.
