Arrival in London

August 28
Arrived safely in London on Tuesday morning. Rented a car and had a interesting time driving on the other side of the road. Jason did a great job driving although we both would flinch as we'd come around a curve and see a car coming right at us! Flight over was a little uncomfortable and i did not sleep much so i was very tired yesterday and slept for about 12 hours overnight last night to catch up. feeling much better today!

My "flat" looks very nice with a great view down the Thames. Can see the London Eye ferris wheel very clearly but the view of Big Ben and Parliment is blocked by a skyscraper - oh well. View is incredible at night with the lights dazzling on the river. Mirrors in the main reception room do open the place up and give it a look of being twice as big. Furntiture is modern - all black, white and glass - will need to spice it up a bit with some color. Still missing a number of pieces that need to be dliverd but am assured they are on there way. Bathrooms are modern and very clean - heated towel racks is a nice touch

Heading out this evening to see some of the touristy areas and give Jason his first real dose of the true London experience - we've vowed to find a pub where we can get fish and chips and a pint of ale. We are off to Wales and Scotland tomorrow on our next adventure. will post pictures of the flat and our travels as soon as i can.

missing charlotte weather as it is already cold enough to wear a jacket here, although i must admit the air feels like fall and without this humidity, it will be great to start running outside again

much love to friends and family
