Travel, travel, travel has been the theme of 2011 so far.  Costa Rica, Houston, Tampa, Minnesota and now London.

I arrived this afternoon, which beats my previous 7:00a arrival times.  I’m staying at the beautiful the runnymede-on-thames and made it in time to check in and have some afternoon tea while reading.  Funny story… While enjoying my tea, I was asked by a neighboring table if I were American.  I confirmed and said yes, to their excitement.  Oddly enough, they were doing a crossword puzzle in The Mirror and needed a work for Gumbo Ingredient that was – - r -.  Luckily for me, I made a mash-up impression with Okra.

Pictures of the grounds, and more stories to come, as I meet up with friends here locally.
