Pintura - Pan Con Tomate

When I was in university, I met an exchange student from University of Leeds.  She described the City of Leeds, as an  industrial and functional place, without much culture and style. I was pleasantly surprised at all it had to offer when I passed through this cosmopolitan city on a recent trip through England.

From the moment I got off the train, I was impressed.  Right beside the train station was my hotel, The Queens Hotel.  Now in my experience, quite often the hotel beside the train station is not always the best.  Maybe their locations are great, but they can be the hotels that time has forgotten with little to offer than a questionable bed.

Statue of Webb Ellis in Rugby

RUGBY, ENGLAND–From its origin in the town of Rugby to Twickenham, where the world’s top team will be crowned and the Webb Ellis Cup will be hoisted in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, this fall is the perfect time for a rugby pilgrimage through England.

The sport got its name from the town of Rugby and even more specifically, it all began on the pitch at The Rugby School. The moment is memorialized for all time on a plaque at the school in honour of William Webb Ellis, who in 1823, “with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time, first took the ball in his arms and ran with it.”
