After a couple of days in Mexico City fighting the flu, and
on the trail of artists Frieda Kahlo and Diego Rivera, we arrived in familiar
London, with people who queue patiently and the palest skin we had seen in a
long time. This was the first time we had been in an English speaking country
for 6 months, and it was hard to get used to hearing our mother tongue, after
speaking, listening and even thinking in Spanish for so long.
We had the most wonderful time hitting some more of the
London sights, and catching up with good friends PJ, Rob, Corisha, Emma and
Jacqui. We visited Westminster Abbey, the Churchill War Rooms, went to a Fulham
– Norwich football match, Highclere Castle (where Downton Abbey is filmed), and
Windsor Castle.
It was so good to spend some more time with Rob to get to
know him, and we thoroughly enjoyed staying with him and PJ in their lovely
London apartment. We had great catch ups over home cooked dinners, with bottles
of wine and Cuban mojitos, and talked about future plans, travel plans, and the
last 6 months.
Like Cuba, it was very hard to leave, especially not knowing
when we would see some of these friends again. But of course these are all
friends that no matter the distance or time apart we will always be close.
And this was just the beginning of our next adventure – Turkey, Jordan,
Israel, Palestine, and Egypt!
