A reunion took place, much to everyone's surprise, with my old classmates and friends from IXCHEL Spanish school in Antigua who are presently working in London. With many tales to share it could have turned to a bender but we were not as wild as we were back then and besides the Tube finished at midnight so we bid our farewells and called it a night assuring each other that we would meet again...

Also met up with "Donna from the Amazon" and we indulged in the office tradition of eating a picnic power lunch whilst staring at shirtless men who mistook the small patch of grass in the concrete jungle for some type of island paradise.

Had a chance to visit the Tate Modern museum which housed some impressive works of art from the likes of Cezanne, Picasso and Monet 01
01
 . One of the highlights was staring at works of Salvador Dali and thinking how he had come up with the stuff.

Amber returned from her tour of duty in Italy and France with her friends from Sydney and they spent two weeks seeing he sites and eating the "best meal ever!' every time. However the reunion was cut short for she was headed to Kobe to meet up with her parents and I to Tokyo for another reunion with my good friend Carson.

NOTE: If you are interested I have uploaded photos from disposable cameras used at the Rolling Stones (RIO), Carnival (Salvador) and Galapogas Islands (Ecuador).
