The First Day

Well, it's been a tiring past 24+ hours, but so far, London has been fantastic!

The flight to Detroit wasn't too bad, and the layover in Detroit was fine, since the people who flew out of Dallas were pretty awesome. We had a great time, and only 2 of the other 6 people are from Belmont (that flew from Dallas). The flight to London took FOREVER though, and I only got about an hour of sleep.

So we arrived about 10 AM this morning, and that was followed by a long line at customs with rude British men, then a 2.5 hour bus ride to Hampstead. I finally got some sleep on that.

Once we got settled in our rooms- I have a single- we went on a walking tour of the area, and it's pretty awesome. Then we had some reception thing and ate some food, met some people, got to see friends from Belmont like Tam. And now, Elizabeth Dunn and I are sitting on a bench in Hampstead after having a drink and hummus. The eatery had wi fi for customers but only during a certain time period, but for some reason, the wireless works....

Alright, I imagine I might come back Sunday to upload photos. And to my family, I haven't called because I don't have any change. Tah tah!
