It is currently 6:30 London time and I'm already ready for bed! Seems I still haven't caught up with the time. Not only from not sleeping well on the plane, but being awakened this morning at 5am by bright sunlight! And it took me an hour to go to sleep after that as my body was telling me it was time to get up, but I still felt really sleepy! I managed to go back to sleep by grabbing my jacket,putting it on my pillow, and using the sleeves to cover my eyes! Sounds crazy, but I was able to get some more sleep!
Got up and 10 this morning and headed out to London with Melody and Steph. We tried to see the Queen, as she came out this afternoon about 1, however we didn't know it till about 12, and we were still in Epping. So we didn't make it time. But we did get to see Buckingham Palace, so that was a check off the list!
From there we went to Covent Gardens which is a large outdoor shopping area in London. It was fun walking around and looking at everything.
From there we walked to Trafalger Square, and then to the National Gallery which was free. Yay! We got to see several Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Degas, and even a Davinci painting! So that was exciting.
Afterward we walked toward Leischter Square (sp?) and then came home. We managed to see a lot of London, so when Melody and I get back from France, at least we won't have to try and squeze a lot in!
Dinner tonight is what the Brits refer to as BBQ and we call grilling out. Burgers, sausage that type of thing.
Tomorrow will be church and Monday is France! Not sure if I'll have any internet in France. So after tomorrow there may be no news until the 12th or 13 of June!
Melody and I are having a great time so far. The Westwoods are really great hosts. And its fun being able to share all this with Melly!
