Dorking, Surrey, UK

This is us, fresh off the plane at Paula and Tony's house in Redhill.

We're all settled into our house in Dorking now.  Our Mum, Linda, is still on holiday, but she'll be back tomorrow.  Our new dad, Andy, is very nice!  They have a ton of animals.. 6 cats, 4 large dogs, ferrets, and 2 hawks (yes, hawks).  There's another girl staying here too.  She's from Poland and really shy.  We also met one of their sons, Ollie, who lives here too.  It's a full house!

Today, we went exploring around Dorking with Paul, Kate's teacher.  He's a lot younger than we expected (late 20s probably).  Megan and Kate got a cell phone (Tony gave me one so I didn't have to buy one) and we had lunch.  Then we went hiking up Box Hill and it was GORGEOUS.  It is hard adjusting to the amount of walking here.  They keep telling us things are "just a 5 minute walk" away and it takes us 10 minutes to walk there.. we're used to being lazy Americans I guess!

We're walking back into Dorking in a few minutes to go grocery shopping so we don't starve to death.

Paul is taking us into London tomorrow so we can do all kinds of cheesy touristy things.  Can't wait!
