LONDON!

I'm not quite sure on days right now, but on Friday we got up early and went to the limo place to get our shuttle to JFK. We spent a long time in the airport listening to a bunch of coeds talking about going to spin for their years abroad... Our flight was supposed to leave at 6:15, but we didn't take off until a bit after that because there was even traffic on the tarmac in NYC. Our plane was nice, we each had our own tvs, toothbrushes, eyemasks, socks, blankets and towels. Trouble set in though when the man in front of me wanted to lean his seat back and then got mad at me when my knees were sticking in his back. He wanted me to somehow shrink. Whatever. He kept telling me to move, but I couldn't really do anything for him. (I made it a point to stand up really tall when next to him..he was tall, but not as tall as me.) We got to london at about 6:30am London time. We walked around the airport, igured out the currency (exchange rate is AWFUL) and then got tickets to the tube. We got to Duncan's around 9:30am and then watched to British TV before heading out in the cold, wind and rain for our personal tour of london. We took the tube into town and then saw the London Eye (Its cool, but too expensive!) and then houses of parliament, bridges, the tate museum, and plenty of other things I can hardly remember because I was falling asleep. we got a couple pints and then headed back to take naps. After getting up, we ordered pizza, had some cider and watched an american movie classic, Volcano...such a bad film. We heded to bed around 11 and then didn't get up until 10:30 this morning. Its about noon now and maybe we can survive without a nap today! More sightseeing later. I don't feel like putting pictures up, sorry.
