London, England

July 7 - July 11, 2010


The UK road-trip came to a close with a final stop along the route home to Rosslyn Chapel, just outside of Edinburgh, after a last overnight stay scheduled in York was voted out. With 'Knights Templar' fame, Rosslyn Chapel was featured in Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code, as well as in scenes of the novel's movie, filmed in 2005 with Tom Hanks.


So a few days back in the area were necessary as I had Street dance practices to attend, leading up to the Summer showcase in late July. The dance school runs showcases semiannually, in Summer and Winter, however, I was definitely not going to miss this upcoming performance as it would be my very last with Street Vibes Dance School in London. And if you didn't know already, as of four years old, dance has been my life.


In addition, I did not let the chance slip when it came to spending some final time with the couple friends who were still in town (the disadvantage of attending an international school: you never want to be home over holidays as it becomes a ghost town; everyone travels, whether it be back home or to another holiday destination), one of which was moving abroad to Detroit a mere four days after we caught up over lunch in Windsor. We conversed for hours over a very last Nandos meal for both of us.
I miss that chica.
