Dear readers,
Over the past week you have been sitting at the edge of your seat in anticipation of future blog posts. Thank you for your support. The end of the trip is near, but there is more to share before we are stateside on Tuesday.
On Saturday, Mom and I went to a market which was full of stations featuring cheeses, meets, vegetables, take away lunches, and more. From there, we actually split ways where she went off to go yoga, and I met up with good friend and fraternity brother Jerry Yang who is studying/working in London. (MBA program)
Jerry and I exploreed the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. The tower of london is where the crown jewels are featured, and what a sight they were! I saw the largest cut diamond ever as a part of a staff, and a magnificient display of crowns.
From the tower, Jerry and I explored the local watering hole, then I ventured back to the hotel. By that time, dad had finished the tennis (thankfully) and he and I ventured to a chinese restaurant nearby for an excellent sampling.
Today is Sunday. We woke up early to get to the Wimbledon grounds, which were closed off to the public, but we were still able to walk around the grounds and into the town of Wimbledon. In fact, we saw a few stars including Venus and Serena Williams practicing.
Happy Father's day.
From tennis, we ventured into main London to see Westminster Abbey, and attend a service there which was real nice. A few shops and other sights including St. Paul's Cathedral, and then back to Wandsworth.
Tomorrow promises to be a great day at Wimbledon where we have grounds passes. Weather is iffy, but my spirit is adament.
Enjoy the photos, see you soon.
Andrew
