well, WE MADE IT!!!!
We arrived on Thursday morning and were met by our study centre staff in the airport. From there we took a 2 hour busride through the country side where we arrived in downtown London. The traffic was really bad, and even at 10 am there were lots of tourists and people already out and about.
Our flat is very nice, on the top floor, but still very nice! We have about 8 flights of stairs to go up before we reach our flat (including a very steep set inside our actual flat) but that is the price we pay for living in a 300 year old building! We also don't have air conditioning, but have kept pretty cool with 70 degree weather and a small oscillating fan!
After we got settled in, we struck out walking to buy groceries and other such things! There is a nice sized super market about a block away, and we managed to get what we needed! Our neighboorhood is very nice, and last night we went to a small pub called "The Old Crown" where we had some fish & chips and a pint of beer! Afterwards we called it a night, and turned in early to get some much needed sleep! This morning we have an orientation meeting, a security meeting, and walking tour of our neighboorhood to help us get better acquainted with our area! So far we are loving it, and we will post pictures of everything next time!!!
From London with Love,
Anna and Jordan
