Wimbledon Tennis Courts, London, United Kingdom
This was another photo from the beautiful grounds of Wimbledon right after the Andy Murray vs. Andy Roddick game ended. Spectators cleared Henmen Hill and dispersed into the Wimbledon store and off of the grounds. As we descended from the Hill, we could see one of the tennis courts used during the championships.
Arcade/Casino on the Brighton Pier, Brighton, United Kingdom
It was a very hot day when we visited the Brighton Pier, and as we came upon this domed amusement arcade, we went in for refuge from the heat. It was odd because there were arcade games for all ages, but along the side, there were slot machines with age restrictions. Through the arcade and […]
The Seagull & the Remains of the West Pier, Brighton, United Kingdom
As Kristin and I walked along the beach, she mentioned to me the history of the West Pier (seen behind the seagull). After a series of unfortunate events, the pier is in its present condition, the framework for what was once a pier with a concert hall on it extending to land. It was built […]
[day 6] Liverpool Street Train Station, London, United Kingdom
Europe is known for their elaborate train stations and this one was no exception. I’ve always been impressed by the excellent rail system that connects most points throughout Europe. This was a station close by Wendy’s new flat that was a hub for both the Underground and the long distance trains. This Liverpool Street station […]

Since I’m back in the states now, I’m going to still chronicle my trip, day by day. Lots of catching up to do! We were lucky enough to be in the UK during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships, one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments. We paid for admission to the tennis grounds which were […]
[day 2] Brighton Gardens, Brighton, United Kingdom
I haven’t had time to update – finally doing it now! On my second day in the UK, I took a train in the morning to visit Kristin and to visit the beach city of Brighton! I haven’t seen her in a long time so it was great catching up. It was a sunny day […]
[day 1] London School of Economics (LSE), London, United Kingdon
After a long flight and some delays, I finally arrived in London this morning. It’s 8 hours ahead of LA time over here. A ride on the tube to the Russell Park station and a short walk later, I met up with Wendy! It’s been a while since I’ve seen her! Anyway, we had a […]
Great Court, British Museum, London, England

Once closed to the public, the reading room was only open for serious researchers and among them, well known figures (Mark Twain, Mahatma Ghandi, Karl Marx, George Orwell). It has now been transformed to an area with a collection of books on travel, […]
