Day One: These people don't waste time

So after an eight hour flight and a delay in there, we made it to Heathrow airport at about 9 am.. got to our hostel about 10:30, and they told us our room wasn't ready until 2:00! This place looks ultra-shady from the outside, and is only semi-shady on the inside. I'll take what i can get.. our roommates are foreign, or at least the one or two we ran into..

I'm going to throw some pictures on here later tonight, but am at an internet-cafe type place and cant upload directly from my camera (thanks trey for letting me borrow it!)

We saw platform 9 3/4 today, from Harry Potter. It was really cool. A pigeon almost bit my head off, but Katie karate chopped it. Everything is really expensive. All the stereotypes are true so far. The buildings are beautiful and most look like castles. They DO drive on the left hand side of the road, which is weird when you have to cross the street. Not everyone here speaks English, which was kind of surprising, a lot of people with poor English.

We went to Picadilly Circus today, which is like the Times Square of London. That was cool, and then we walked to Trafalgar Square, which is this huge courtyard-ish area outside the national gallery. A few fountains and some SWEET buildings.

Went to starbucks, ordered something new, picked up the wrong thing. Turns out it was coffee. English people don't seem to understand my English. Maybe I should take some classes.

We're headed to dinner and then to bed early, don't wanna get hit with too much jet lag.

Leave a message if you like, props to Dave Fortener for recognizing the Seinfeld quote in the last post. Hopefully there will be pictures up tonight when we get back from dinner. Miss you all!
