Day in Leicester

Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower

Danny's friend Tiva was heading out of town and invited us along for the ride, my first road trip. Even though it was only a day trip out of Derby Danny and I got to see some awesome sights. Before wandering into the shiniest Highcross shopping centre we came across Leicester market filled with all sorts of stuff.

A produce market, one of my favourite kinds.

 After our wander around odd stores (one named CULT with over prices clothes for the boringly average with too much money) and the book store of course. On our wander back to get picked up to our next unknown destination we walked right past an American candy store! Yay, twizzlers. Inside the Haymarket shopping centre we tasted some very yummy Italian candy oh it was good...might have to switch over since twizzlers aren't readily available all the time. 

It looks like a pint glass from below.

I would like to brag and say that we walked all this way to see the pint castle but alas we did not, we had the luxury of driving most of the way.

A picture of white deer!

And over here we see The Pint. (okay that isn't the real name)

 After some nice sight seeing in the rain of the open vastness that England has to offer, off to the museum. I really have to say that i love that all the museums a least the ones that I have been to have all been free. Unlike ours back in Canada.

At the New Walk Museum, there was a two headed lamb donated by a local veterinarian.

I learned that some have problems spelling Leicester. So here is a nice little jingle for kids to remember:
Lions Eat Ice Cream Every Saturday Tigers Eats Rats? There seems to be a couple variations.
We had a wonderful day in Leicester.
