L took me Christmas shopping with her today in Watford. After many hours and many stores we dashed into McDonalds for a quick bite, my first time in McDonalds here. There are actually several different things on the menu. Instead of apple pie, for the holiday season they have a mince and custard pie. Right after we walked out of McDonalds, which was as uneventful as it ever is, we realized there was a French Market in Watford this weekend with a lot of food stalls. It smelled wonderful, and as you can see looked great too. As I was taking a picture of the sausage and peppers, a policeman said something to me in English, but I didn’t understand a word he said. L just smiled at him and said “American tourist”.
