Solihull Continued






Although we're back in the good 'ol U.S., I've still got digital photos and info to share about our trip. Here are several pictures taken right at the Solihull Mall area.

On our last day in England, Lana took us to the mall where they set up an open air market on Fridays. Here they sell anything from produce and cheeses, to jams, breads, pot pies and a variety of other things. Down the lane from this produce stand was a food stand selling ostrich burgers. Yes Ostrich burgers. Max, Lana and I all had one. They were quite good... not a strong flavor, but the meat was a bit dry. If I were to make them at home, more condiments would have made them even better.

The next picture is a shot of the buildings across the street from the Mall. If you enlarge the next photo, you will see the huge Starbucks coffee sign in the window. The next photo is of a line-up of taxis waiting to take on passengers... then a picture of the two-decker buses. All of these photos were taken in the same general vicinity. Notice the brick inlaid streets. Very nice.

After leaving the Mall area, we drove out to the Belfry golf course. See pictures of that in the next post.
