London

Ello!

Tuesday:
    Left Syracuse at 7am on a train to Penn Station in NYC. I couldn't find the luggage area so I lifted my two 50lb bags into the luggage compartment over the seats. Great. I got to Penn and had about an hour until my next train left. I got on my train and was off in Newark in half an hour. I took a shuttle to my hotel and checked in. Aunt MaryBeth met me an hour later and we went out to a Portuguese restaurant where I ordered a steak that you cooked yourself over a hot stone. I made the waiter cook it for me. We were the only women in the restaurant aside from one lady with what looked like a pink snuggie on. Aunt MB dropped me off at the hotel where I then took a bath and went to sleep.

Wednesday:
     I woke at 4:30am to get ready for my plane. I missed the 5am shuttle so I had to wait for the 5:20 shuttle. I got to the airport, checked my bags (which were underweight!), and went on to security. I passed with nailclippers in my purse. And I didn't even have to go through the explosives check! I got to my window seat and soon enough a meathead Texas fan sat next to me. He smelled of fart. We didn't end up leaving Newark until 9am. I watched (500) Days of Summer on the plane, listened to some albums they had, ate an entire bag of chewy Spree, and read some of a book. We got to London at 8:30pm local time. I made my way through immigration fine and met my buddy Sarah on my way out of baggage claim. We took the tube to her place and we got there around 10pm.

Thursday(Today):
    Woke at 1pm. Sarah and I chatted for a few hours and went to the market for a sandwhich. We ate at some pier. Today was less exciting than the past couple days. London is good stuff. Chilly, but not nearly as bad as NY has been. It's 7:30pm here and I'll probably get to reading soon.
