After a REALLY long day of traveling, we arrived safely in London! We left Minneapolis at noon on Thursday and flew to Atlanta. Then we left Atlanta at 6 pm on Thursday and arrived in London at 7:15 am local time.. it was an overnight flight so we should have been sleeping, but the little girls in the seats behind us had other plans for the flight. They kicked our seats almost the entire way.. so we were groggy and exhausted when we got here.
Paula, an Educators Abroad coordinator, picked us up at the airport. Her and her husband had to bring two cars to fit all our luggage (we may have overpacked.. oops!). We came back to her house, which is in Redhill, not too far from where we'll be living. We walked to downtown Redhill and did some exploring.. mostly shops and restaurants. They did have McDonalds, KFC, and Subway so it wasn't too different from home! After exploring, we came back to shower and lay around for a while. Later this afternoon, Paula and Tony are going to take us into Dorking so we can meet our host family and check out our new stomping grounds.
My fingers are too tired to type any more words, so that's all for now!
