Crufts- Day 1

Whew! What a day. We got up at 6am, breakfast at 7pm-"the Full English breakfast", then down the road to the bus stop. The show site is MASSIVE (and the signage is not always obvious) so we walked and walked and walked... They anticipated 80,000 visitors today alone! We watched agility, obedience, gun-dog competition, conformation for Labs and wandered 5 huge halls filled with exhibitors/ vendors and still didn't see it all. Tomorrow the corgis are in the ring at 9am so our morning is planned. There are so many dogs that each day has it's own separate catalog. I see some new event every time I watch agility lately. We were so tired at the end of the day that we bought prepackaged sandwiches on our way out to have for dinner rather than try to do anymore shopping for groceries or walk to a restaurant. We're not in shape for this much fun.... sheesh. The wifi here so sloooooooow that I can't upload any movies! Today I'll shoot stills instead- sigh.....

It's like walking thru a maze! There was a beautiful fruit and vegetable market outside that we ate our way around- yum. Just outside the "Bull Ring" is the City Center which is a massive shopping district along with the central train and bus stations. Just on the edge of the "Bull Ring" is St Martins Cathedral. There was an exhibit by a local artist of larger than life "vestments" each representing a different sentiment evoked by our modern world- quite a unique way to express concern over today's issues. The Old and the New St Martins Right next door to St Martins is ...
