All good things must come to a close and today we catch our flight back to NC. We spent the day yesterday at Wimbledon and had a terrific time. As an official, I get a free pass that allowed me to go to any court so we positioned ourselves under the cover of court 12 and watched the Mardy Fish match. After a set I ventured off to Center Court to watch Rafael Nadal play Michael Russell (USA). Russell was up 4-2 in the first set and then suddenly, Nadal kicked into another gear and won the first set 6-4. There were some amazing rallies and diving shots by Russell but it just wasn't enough. I then watched most of the Shiavonne match. Around 5:15, the rains came and after doing some shopping in the Wimbledon store, we headed back to our hotel for dinner, pack, get boarding passes, etc. We've been gone a long time and I do look forward to coming home. I haven't gone for a run in 2 weeks and as much fun as it is to eat out, I look forward to home cooked meals and stuff from the garden. I have been tracking the NC weather and I am not sure if we are ready for the 90 degree plus temperatures back in NC. The temps have been low 60's here.
Good bye from London.......
