HELLO from London! Just wanted to let everyone know we made it safely. The flight was great and everything went very smoothly! London is very cold and rainy--which is expected however I only packed one pair of jeans and one jacket so I will be repeating outfits a great bit!!! We got into Gatwich airport this morning around 9am and got a train and a taxi to the hostel. They were playing "I'm in love with a stripper" when we walked in so Bec, Gena, and I knew we were staying! HAHA! The hostel is interesting to say the least--its Brumby size with twice the capacity! There are 3 of us in a room and hopefully some randar, bull dyke girl will not be assigned to our room! We went to the London Museum today and saw the Rosetta Stone and pieces from the Pantheon (spelling is shotty). It was cool but we were all really tired and delirious so we went to the hostel to take a nap and almost missed our show for the night. We had to run to the Tube station in the same outfits we were wearing in the ATL airport to catch the show. Seriously--we woke up 20 minutes before the show started!! We saw Les Miserables which was INCREDIBLE! I have never seen such a talented, stacked cast. We then went to a pub for dinner and drinks where we met some Aussies who made fun of our Southern accents. Were taking it easy tonight and going to get up early tomorrow for a full day of touring. I think were going to take the bus tour of London and see all the big sights, including the changing of the guards, which should be fun then head to a nice dinner and out to Zoo Bar (ladies night, apparently). I hated London when I first got here because the accent is very hard to understand and they speak very quickly (Mom--I know how you feel now when we talk!! :) ) but have grown to like it over the past 12 hours. Everyone is getting along great and were off to Dublin on Wed AM. I will be in Rome on Sunday until Tuesday then its Florence until June 23rd. I hope everyone in America is doing well! Mom & Dad--I hear you called Becca's Mom and she felt a lot better after talking to yall! Also, Uncle Dan gave me Chris King's number and I am going to call in the morning along with Neil. Claire--Les Mis was incredible!!! Eponine was the best I have ever heard and Jean ValJean was amazing as well!!! Seriously the most talented cast imaginable.
I love you all and please post back!!
