We conquered Manchester! It was a shoppers paradise...I can only imagine the damage I could have done with my sister or Mary - or both?!! Kevin turned out to be quite the little shopper though and ended our day-o-shopping with a few more items than myself. I told Kevin at dinner that I don't think I have ever shopped from noon to six straight - no lunch stop, no water break, no nothin. Watch out Andrea & Mary your positions as my shopping mates might be in jeopardy.
Different fashions we observed in the hoards of people that were out:
skinny jeans....on guys?!
tights and/or leggings...every girl was in them
boots & uggs
it was similar to New York in that there were a fair share of people stretching the "fashion bar". Needless to say none of our purchases involved any of the above.
Not sure if you would go to Manchester for much more than good shopping. There were a ton of old buildings but not very many tourist attractions. We stayed for dinner and few drinks at a bar/restaurant KRO and then hopped on the 8pm train headed back to Barrow. We both agreed that we would want to go back & possibly next time stay over - there appeared to be a good night life & if we could find a reasonable hotel then why not.
Kevin is still sick :/ And the grocery stores hardly have any medicine - probably a quarter of the selection we have back home. But we did find and purchase the Mansize Tissues - which if you go to our photo album (one of the sidelinks) you can see just how much bigger they are then a regular tissue. If you're lucky some of you might find these bad boys under the Christmas Tree next year....
Good things about today:
Superbowl Sunday with loves wings!!
The start to my birthday month :)
Oh yeah, it is terrifying thing but skinny jeans on guys are back in...wait until you see the vest fad.
