Well I did it, I lived my gurlhood dream- to visit London!! The accents, the London Eye, Jamiroquai - Oh my!!
I met with a couple on the plane who are travelling all around Europe for the summer... hung out with them.. met with their relative.. stayed a couple nights at a hostel in Kings Cross... what I noticed about London that it had that old, classic London that I've envisioned, it had a little New York (i.e bike share, bike cabbie, and etc), and for the blue I didn't see Chelsea but I've encountered a lot "blues" on my way-- jetlag, pubs closing early, no connection, and a ruined camera-- yet it still didn't ruined my trip.

Street performance at Covent Garden |
La Piece de resistance.... heading to Guildford/Surrey to the music festival at Stoke Park (see my musical inspiration-- Jamiroquai).. Stoke Park to me felt like Woodstock but hooked on disco, acid jazz, soul, and of course Jamiroquai!! -- it felt good to meet other fans including as I say it so endearingly my "Jamily" from all over the world.
