Because I didn’t have time in the city, and when I went to Surrey there was no wi-fi, I could not update my blog on a regular basis. I’ve divided this series of posts into six parts: four parts covering my stay in the UK, a Traveling Tap post and a Stories of Eve post. As always it was great to see my friends and visit new places in London. And then a relaxing three days with my brother and his family in Surrey (and an unplanned trip to a town called Rugby).

i was dropped off at the airport by my nephew tarek and my son yousef. it’s so nice when roles are reversed and you feel like the little ones are now taking care of you. here yousef tries on a pair of aviators. joe cool
