Leaving for San Francisco
So, Tuesday 1st August, was my final day in London, for a while…
I ended up meeting with a friend for lunch, a friend after that for a juice, and then dinner in the evening, with as many of my friends as could come and join me.
That evening, John Sleeman had suggested a wonderfully Japanese Sushi restaurant, based on the recommendation of his partner – and I have to agree it was absolutely wonderful!
It was especially fun, trying to find the place! With friends all calling as they arrived at Piccadilly Circus, a little lost as to where to find this wonderful little alley, with the yellow sign of the restaurant sticking out of it!
Still, eventually everyone arrived, and then, with the chaos, and mayhem that ensued, with everyone getting the poor staff at the restaurant flustered, and confused – if it wasn’t for Salim stepping in, taking people’s orders, and then communicating them to the staff, I don’t think we’d have ever gotten any dinner!! Thanks for stepping in there Salim!
I ended up jumping from one end of the long table to the other – in hopes of spending a little time with everyone – even though I wanted to spend lots of time with everyone! But hey, what could I do – I was heading off to San Francisco the very next day, and with a bunch of packing still left to do, I ended up winding hte night up early (ish!), so as we could all head on home… Salim ended up leaving his cell phone though, and as we started to leave the restaurant, we ended up having a huge group hug (with me being the central focus of the group!) Can’t say you can beat that for being shown by others how much they enjoy your company!! (And your hugs!!)
I think someone might have even got a photo of us all in one big clump!! If not, I certainly don’t think I’m going to forget that farewell send-off anytime soon!
Well, off to San Francisco it is… I wonder what adventures lie in store for me there?? Only time will tell…
