So, taking Keith’s advise I went to the southern tip of England to visit with a friend and he took me on a tour of his area of rural England. All I can say is WOW. WOW to the scenery. WOW to the little villages. WOW to the narrow roads and WOW to the speed at which Martin drives down there.

First he picks me up from the train in a diesel powered Mercedes of some genre. I have no clue which one. Ripping through the streets of Brighton he took me to a tea room run by a couple of ladies that he met through the website I used to work for. I knew them from the site, but have never interacted with them. The food was good and the reminiscing of the fun we all had on the site was interesting.

After lunch, we headed to Sussex to Shaw Harley-Davidson. For all those that wanted poker chips, sorry but none were available. I did get 4 cool pins, but instead of the 2 or 3 pounds, they’ll cost you about $9 or $10 each.

Heading to Highgate Cemetery today. I should be taking pictures there and we hope to get a nice group shot.

Today is our last day here. Tomorrow we hit the tube early to head to the airport. We’re lucky that the tube stop nearby is the line that goes directly to Heathrow, so no transferring. We should be back at home by 9 p.m. or so tomorrow.

My legs hurt like they’ve never hurt before.
