England Day 7

Today i went to visit some younger family in England my cousin Daniel Silverstein specificly, he lives in a suburb of london called Willsden Green which is a 2 minute walk from the underground station. I realized today that when i get up might be my only free time to pack for the rest of my england trip because i am going to be so busy, so i did my laundry and packed all of my bags, one overnight bag for my trip to Daniel Silverstein and my duffel bag was also packed and ready to be put on a plane.
Then i went to my cousin daniels house and it was fun. He is a rapper in a new band called lines of faith where he and a cool muslin guy named Muhammed are the 2 MC's (thats Mic Controllers or Rappers for those who dont know) when i got to daniels house he had just returned from a music festival and was tired, as was i because it was early in the morning so i took a nap while he prepared for a band meeting with muhammed, which was scheduled later that day.
Once I woke up i went on a walk of Daniel's neighboorhood and even found that there was some decent schwarma to be had in Willsden. Once i was walking i remembered that i should try calling the tour company that left me behind and maybe attempt to get some money back or some other form of recompensation. I called and complained and ended up getting another free tour offered to me the next day which worked out perfectly because i had the morning and aternoon free and i though that stonhenge and bath would be a great way to spend my last day.
When i got back from my walk Daniel and Muhammed had finished up with their meeting and me and Daniel went wandering london, first he showed me a park that had a great overatching view of all of london which was spectacular, and then we went to his favorite kosher restaurant run by israelies in a place called Golders Green which i like to fondly call little Israel. We got back tio Dan's place around midnight and decided to call it a night as i had to be up at 7 am that morning in order to make it downtown for the tour.
