Well I have officially been in England for 5 whole days and I love it! I'm starting now to recap what I have been up to so far and, let me tell ya, it is a lot.
 |
| This is me, all packed up and ready to go obviously, before making the trek to Calgs. Look at how adorable I am.... |
 |
| Me and the kid. We were super Canadian and enjoyed some Tim Horton's before my departure. |
At takeoff on the plane, I almost starting freaking out, but there were small children on the flight. I thought, if they can do it, so can I...and I actually even looked at the window as we went up and it was a hoot!
 |
| Somewhere in Canada. The flight was long but not unbearable. I didn't go to the bathroom because I was in a window seat and two large men sat next to me sleeping the whole time. I know, TMI. I watched three and a half movies, including Mirror Mirror which I thoroughly enjoyed and found myself laughing out loud to. |

| The long creepy hallway to the Tube! |
I was so happy to have no trouble getting into England and I found my luggage very easily. I got some cash and their money is colourful too! They also have one and two dollar coins. I wish I would've have taken more pics on my way over to the Center but I was just stressed that I would get lost on the Tube. It was surprisingly easy (albeit a little bit sketchy) and I got here by 12:30. As soon as I got here they forced me to go on a walk around London for one of my classes and go get an Oyster card (which is like a bus pass for the Tube). By the time I got home at 5-ish I was sooooooooo tired. But after that first day I haven't actually been that tired from jet lag, more from just going, going, going all day long!
Finally!! Great to see some pic's. Hyde Park looks pretty nice. Have you gone for a bike ride through it yet? Good control on the plane, weren't you dying by the end? Keep us posted. mom
