Weekend around London




It was a relaxing weekend. One of those used to recharge the emptied batteries used on the previous - lonnnnnnng - week.


The summer has finally arrived in the UK. 28 degrees. Blue sky and a warm sun shining all over. The city looks stunning. Flowers decorating the buildings and posts all over town. People smiling and without the moody faces generally showed in the rainy summer days. It was two days of strolling around a sunny, gorgeous - full of smiley people, London.

Regent Street it's all decorated with all the nations flags - ready for the Olympics. Magnificent.

The Olympic mascot, Wenlock - I call him the Thingy-O - is everywhere.

For my surprise I seen the new Havaianas store just off Carnaby street. It's so strange to see the Havaianas becoming so trendy and so fashion. When I was a child, in Brazil, The Havaianas used to be worn by (this term will sound so snub now) the common. You would never think of using one to go out of your home - ever. That would be social suicide. Few years ago the Havainas re-invented itself and became what it is now, International! I simply Love it.

We closed the Sunday with a ice cream from the Amorino in Compton Street.  Sweet finish for a relaxing and energy recharging weekend,

Have a great week all!
