Reminiscing about London Town

Tonight I was looking for something on archived cd's and I ran across some photos of the time I lived in London last year. One group of pix in particular of my farewell sendoff from my colleagues. They surprised me by taking me to this amazing champagne bar called 360 as it has a complete view of all of London from the top of one of the tallest building in the city. To top it off it was a beautiful night too.
