Last stop...London

I’m writing this from home, recovering and reflecting on an amazing trip but will sum up my experience another day.   I want to round out my trip first with my last stop before my journey home, London.

I must confess that my final stop was not my favorite stop, but London had its own unique wonder and excitement.  Deep in history and tradition, I also found contemporary and unique experiences.  I could have spent days wandering the halls of both the Tate Modern & Tate Britain.  Evening on the east end’s Vyner Street did not disappoint; an abundant mélange of classic bohemian entwined with gifted imagery.  A traditional smarmy red double decker bus tour rounded out the city’s monumental hot spots.  In all I have to say out of all the overwhelmingly crowded palaces, rivers, abbeys towers, streets, yards, gardens  what brought me the most joy were seven bright smiling faces.   Near the London Marble Arch stands the Jelly Baby Family sculpture by Mauro Perucchetti.    Smiles abundant in a sea of bustling people….beautiful.

Once I have a chance to settle back in and relax among some amazing memories  I will end this chapter of my journey with some favorite highlights that are swimming around with fondness in my memory.  Thanks for sharing in my adventure.  Your notes will be returned as soon as I am able and I look forward to seeing you all soon.
