Coming Home

I have spent the last few days wandering about in England. I made a trip to Birmingham to visit a friend that I met in Berlin and yesterday I went out to Wimbeldon. I was a half hour late for the tour of the grounds but was still able to tour the museum which was pretty cool! I did not have enough time today to make it back out there and still make my flight home so the few glimpses of the magical green grass will have to hold me over. I went to Hard Rock Cafe last night...the Original Hard Rock and had an evening of entertainment watching the waitstaff from the bar. My waiter told me all about the history of the first opening and some other London history. I then was instructed that I had to see "The Vault"...I was the only person for that time slot so I got the personal tour from 20 year old Harry that is in a band and knows that this band is going to be Big!!! He knew a lot about Rock & Roll history and it was an amusing 30 minutes. If anyone ever hears of a rock band with the name Sugar for the Band, let me know!! haha I had to deal with Tube(subway)line closures and find an alternate way home. In doing so, I saw a few sights in London and had a scary walk home on Holland Park walk--a dmly lit path that goes on for about a mile with limited access. I probably walked faster than my PTC pace. I was plotting how I would defend myself but never had to make a decision. I am hanging out now until my flight home!!! See you all soon!
