London, England
And I thought the US dollar to Euro exchange rate was irritating at $1 : .73 euro. The english pound is $1 : .55 pound. frugal folk like myself should not touch down in England, but i guess if the plane takes you there you might as well enjoy it. besides, we were meeting the San Diego Hobans, my brother Ed and family, in London. how fun is that?
Ed's daughter Kami is part of a soccer team that was traveling to Sweden for a very large international tournament. They stopped in London to get warmed up for the tournament by playing a few friendly matches against local London teams. Kami's whole family made the tournament a summer vacation. They visited Paris and Ireland before meeting up with Kami's team in London. we joined their party at the changing of the guards in front of Buckingham palace. Their team was nice enough to include us in their full day of activities, which concluded with one of their friendly matches and then their bus driver going out of his way to drop CB, Corri, and myself at a suburban tube station that took us back into London. It was a very fun day, and it was great to to spend time with them in a foreign atmosphere. This trip was a huge success for the SD Hobans and the whole soccer team.
