Arrival

I just arrived in London and I am exhausted and ready to lay down. I definitely suggest that who ever is traveling sleeps as much as possible on the plane. After you arrive however try to stay up so your body can addapt to the time change. It is eight hours difference from the west coast of the US. The first three things that I noticed were the streets were small, the stores are very close together, and the tube (aka the London subway) is crazy.

The streets are alot smaller than where I am from and the side walks are more stones than cement. The streets are closer because the town was built during the time of the Roman Empire. I will read up on this and give you more details about London's history. There are a lot of hills and it is also very strange seeing cars on the left side of the road.

The stores are also very close together along the streets. The buildings are made by bricks and all look very similar. When the town was built they had no machines to do their work so they had to lay the bricks by hand. There were no cars but instead horses and chariots so buildings were convieniently built next to one another.

The tube is new to me. The lines indicating where to go seem like a spider web. I am sure I will get lost at least once but I will some how find my way back. You just have to really pay attention to which tube goes where and when you get off.

It is getting late and I am tired so I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I am going into town so I will update you on what's new. Keep checking in.
