Azariah was used to flying, it was something she did with ease. She was in first class, so there was quite a bit of comfort, and there was the access to the in flight WiFi. She had been working on her laptop, She may appear to be unemployed, but she did have some say in the running of the businesses and financial assets left to her. She also had several side projects that she worked on using the money she did have access to. She received an e-mail and opened it immediately. She had been enjoying her exchanges with Adrian, and while they had no intention of marriage, she would hope that they would remain friends. To: Adrian From: Azariah Subject: re Is this for real? Adrian, Thus far the flight has been quite lovely. It is of course, long, but I am enjoying the time to handle a few things. I think I really will enjoy the market place and wish you would be able to join me, but I do understand that for some, there could be challenges in last minute schedule changes. I shall endeavor to enjoy myself none the less, and of course, take lots of photos for you. It will be as though you were there the whole time. I have little to no interest in seeing the popular tourist destinations. I am sure the workmanship at Madame Toussauds is superb, but I have no desire to fight with hundreds if not thousands of others to shuffle past it. Between you and me, I see little point in seeing Buckingham Palace, again, I am certain it is a very lovely thing to see, set up exactly the way people expect, and no different than photographs available online. Truthfully, I have no desire to see the place, nor to throw support in anyway to what has historically been a very oppressive regime. The history of colonization and therefore active or passive cultural genocide is just something I have never supported. Not to say that America is innocent of those crimes, and I do not support them there either. We, as the privileged and monied, MUST stand and say these things are not ok. It's difficult, but character is what you do when no one is looking. I hope that my time here will be enjoyable and allow me to experience the very best things to come out of the UK, but that remains to be seen. I look forward to our meeting soon. Please keep in touch! Your Friend, Azariah
