Birmingham-Jewellery Quarter

Everyone travels to London, Rome, NYC and Paris…. but how many people get to travel to Santorini, Aruba or Piraeus? These are like curated vacations, Sailing the seven seas on a cruise ship and getting paid for it!

I miss the newly wed, the nearly dead and the overfed----Now I am a Land Sailor, on break from the most amazing two months at sea onboard Holland America's Prinsendam: Videos of The Arctic Circle, The Norwegian Fjords capture the AWE in  this awesomeness...

I drive  "the wrong side" of the road, in Britian and  ended up HERE, in the Midlands...

What could be better- er....Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. The flagship dish of Britain's acclaimed 'national cuisine'was invented in Birmingham in the 1970's.

Neon Blue Paraiba! with Mint Nail Polish-Delicious.
Birmingham, which is under construction-Three projects going on simultaneously.  Managed to shut the GPS off, and just use a plain old paper map to  find and visit The Jewellery  Quarter. I saw some amazing Gemstones and Colored Diamond Rings,
Pendants and Earrings. Just window shopping but retail therapy for my wife.
