Day Eleven London (Evening)
Ok, it is the day after. Sunday. Pretty much everybody is gone except Brian Biggs who leaves Wednesday and Marlene is still in the area. I leave Tuesday morning so I have one more day, Monday, to mess around.
We have all been communicating on a what’s app group chat all week and still keeping up with each other.
This morning Brian and I had breakfast and coffee at Burnt Umber then went touristing.
We took a bus to London Bridge then caught a boat up to Greenwich and went to the observatory which I am calling the temple of time and space where the English worked out a global time system and mastered space for sea navigation. It was cool and we were overwhelmed with knowledge and tourists. It is a lovely Sunday after all. Then we took the boat back and Brian walked me over to the return bus then he went off for dinner with his friends. Then, when I got back to my apartment I went up to Laterna for dinner and am now back, writing.

It was a fun day. And that’s all I have to say about that. Just about time for bed.
It looks like it was a lovely day at the end of a productive project. I hope after all the fatigue of travelling passes you feel satisfied by what you have accomplished. It looked really great!
