We actually saw Wimbledon. My mother is here also and she got to experience the English queue. It was something. We got to the 'parking lot' at 10:30 a.m. and were admitted to the grounds at 2 p.m. It was very well organized but very hot too. As we went on the second day (foolishly thinking the lines would be SHORT) we got to see a lot of tennis on the outlying courts (centre court and court 1 were extra of course - and sold out by the time we got to the front of the line). Everywhere you looked there were matches and look how close we got. Don't ask me who this is -- I don't remember and it doesn't matter because she's not in it anymore -- that's the beauty of the first round. But she could have beaten any of us. In fact, she won this match. And yes, we did have strawberries and cream (and Pimm's).
