Top of the Ghurkin

Today, I got the opportunity to be a visitor to the Gherkin in London. It's actually called something else and looks like a giant 40 story Faberge egg. Duncan got me security clearance and visitor pass and I was able to sit in the top at the bar while he was in a meeting. The top is a simple bar, private and exclusive with only the glass dome of the building around it. It's really quite something. A fantastic view of the city and of the Olympic stadium, village, and surrounding buildings. I also had to 'sharpen up' as Duncan puts it. Fortunately for me we are of a similar size and build. There are pictures, but I doubt I'll be posting them.
