Cheers!

I made it, after a looonnggg flight and experiencing the left ride of the road!

London is amazing; everyone looks stylish, cars are small, fridges are small, and surprisingly everyone loves Americans, so far. I have had expresso twice today, and it is making life wonderful.

Yesterday was spent unpacking, getting my new phone, and learning what hot spots were around my flat. At night, we went to a French restaurant and ate delicious food, with of course, smaller portions than America. Zetlands, the new “Conors” is where we traveled afterwards, and it could be my home away from home. Later on in the evening, we walked over to Imperical College, and went to Unibar. Again, sooo much fun.

Today we went on a tour of London cruising by the London Eye, Westminister Abbey, Picadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. It really interesting to see modern buildings intertwined with historical monuments. I’m exciting to be working right in the mix of all of it!

Pictures to come...
