Hello again to everyone.  I am now in London and have been since Thursday.  What a beautiful place this is.  I have heard that you either love it or hate it...well I love it.  I could definetly live here in a heart beat.  There is so much culture and so much history here that I don't even know where to begin.  I have seen the Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, the National Museum which was unbelievable.  I have seen Big Ben and the House of Parliament, the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, the London eye, Trafalgar Square and I feel like I have not even touched what London has to offer.  Yesterday I fulfilled one of my dreams...kind of.  I went and took the tour of Wimbledon.  I will come back some day when I can attend the championships but it was still a magnificent site!!! For all you tennis fans and even those who are not this is a must see some day.  I spent a little extra and took the guided tour and got to see Court 1, Center Court, the changing rooms the newly opened Wimbledon Museum. So beautiful.  I even got my picture taken of me on the press booth where all the players answer questions to the press.  Check out the pictures!! I wish you all could have experienced this one with me.  :(  Tomorrow I head off for somewhat of a long journey on the bus as I am scheduled to see Stone Henge.  Depending on how much time I have I might try to catch Avesbury as well as I have heard that it has just as much history and rock formations as Stone Henge.  The weather here on Thursday was beautiful and warm.  The last few days has been raining all day long, but hasn't stopped me from checking out the parks and what London has to offer.  I wish I would have scheduled more time here as there will be a lot that I miss out on.  Next time!!!! Well I hope that everyone is doing well and I miss you all a ton.  Send me some emails as it is nice to hear from everyone.  Traveling on your own does have its benefits, but does get a little lonely from time to time.  Wish you all the best.  Talk to you next from Poland.  Tokie & Wally I hope that Poland is ready for Swanny!!!!!!! Here I come and I will see you on Monday!!!
