Greetings from Jolly Ol' England

Hey everyone,

I arrived in London today. It was a long flight (9 hours) and unfortunately I didn't get much sleep. But I arrived all in one piece and mastered the tube right away! I have also gotten lost at least a dozen times in the two hours I walked from my hostel by Earl's Court to somewhere (I finally hopped on the tube and went to Piccadilly Circus). The streets are not straight but wind all over (good thing I have a compass!).

London is a beautiful city! The tube ride from the airport was great. I saw the neighbourhoods leading into the city, and they are exactly what I imagined (a la Mary Poppins!). And there are so many people! In a city of 8 million, it's amazing how lonely and insignificant you can feel. But people are very friendly when it's obvious that I am lost.

So my first day in London was excilerating and exhausting all at the same time. I plan to go to some museums in the next few days and get lost some more (it's great exercise!).

So, until the next time I'm back on the blog, Cheers! Lisa

P.S. I love you Mom, Dad, Bryan, Kristen and Jeff and miss you a bunch!
