We've Arrived in London-Town

London is beautiful.

Just arrived the other night late.
I got to visit with Andy, Mary, and Sean B. some lovely park near Embankment (tube).
Exercised in Hyde Park which I ended up turning OFF my iPod. . . because it was so peaceful and it was just amazing.
Went out with the girls, we learned that pretty much everything closes at 11pm. . . as far as anything with alcohol. So we will plan ahead for tonight or whenever the next time will be.



My flatmates (Amanda, Claudia, Jenna, and Tara) and I went to St. James' Park, took pictures at Buckingham Palace with guards, then walked around Picaddilly and had lunch.
All before 3pm. We had to come back and take a break to rest, no worries though, we will be thoroughly using the Oyster Card for the next 30 days.

We have a kitchen full of food and all the girls mesh really well together.



We don't start the internship/work study until Tuesday. Poor Tara has to travel about an hour to get to her place, the rest of us. . . it takes about 15 minutes, not even.

We have great professors with us for this trip, and the whole group of 27 girls, all seem to get along. . . haven't really had any problems or issues yet. Then again, it is a bit early.

Oh I ate my first meal with tomato slices voluntarily and I've become infatuated with oil and balsamic vinegar on salads. . . so far i've had two salads today (did I mention they are baby SPINACH leaves at that???)

oh and with that. . . it's been in the 60's, low 70's. . . sunny and great.

So far so good.
