We talked to noah before we left about how he could barter at Portobello Market. He was so excited to try it-it was something that he was really excited to experience. I gave each boy £20 and told them once they were out-that was it. Our very first booth was this one filled with pocket watches, magnifying glasses, antique looking knives-a 9 yr old boys dream come true! Noah found this pocket watch and really wanted it but it was £22. He confidently looked at the man and said, “I’ll pay £18.” The mat quickly told him no and moved on to another customer. Noah looked over the watch one last time, thanked the man for his time, and walked away. He didn’t make it far before Noah heard the man call after him, “wait-you want it for 18? You can have it for £18.” Noah was THRILLED with his pocket watch and story that he will tell for the rest of his life! #pricelesslessons #waytogonoah #lifeisajourneynotadestination #perfectsouviner
