We're in London, Baby!

After a long car ride & two very long flights, we made it! We arrived at our hostel at 11:30 a.m. (England time - there is a 7 hour difference) this morning. Our youth hostel is basic, clean, and in a safe area - right across from St. Paul's Cathedral. I have to admit we are all jet lagged. Airplane sleeping isn't the best, but we are still awake and kickin'. We are just bumming around the streets right now...getting our bearings. And if you couldn't tell, I have zoned in on the free wifi in a cute little cafe called Pret. Tonight we are headed to the Globe Theatre and Tate Modern for a breathtaking art experience. And tomorrow, I don't know about the students yet...but I am hitting London in my jogging shoes & shorts in the a.m. I thought a run/walk along the Thames would be appropriate - maybe swing up in the Eye for a bird's eye view of the city. Then in the afternoon, Angela and I are headed to Soho/Chinatown for good soup dumplings & ginger candy (Yum!).

We head to Bridgwater on Sunday to begin our project. I am very impressed at all of the prep work the students have already accomplished...we talked a lot about research on the car ride and plane trips. We will keep y'all in the loop. Time to explore again! Oh - woman with a yoga bag...where is she going?
