Finally touched down in london town!


I am finally here, after months upon months of preparations I made it to London!! The plane ride was sooooo long but it was so worth it. It is so BEAUTIFUL here. It was an adventure making it to 27 Palace Court, but we made it. Our taxi drive was so funny, we talked "futbol" the whole ride and I am pretty sure he almost hit like five people and like two cars. On the first day we unpacked and did a little exploring but we were all so tired! I did not sleep much at all on the planes so I was almost up for two straight days, it was crazy. It is now the end of the second day here, and I realized today just how much there is to see and do in this city. I absolutely love my roommates!!! I am on the fourth floor, side B with Lauren , Laura, Lizzie, and Sarah. All the other girls are great also, oh and the one guy haha. It seems like a really great group. Today we went out to the city all day. We got our tube passes and rode to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace (which I was soooo excited about because I am in love with the movie "The Young Victoria"), than we went to Harrods, which was so so so big. We played around in the toy store there and looked at crazy expensive gowns and shoes. I bought something at a really cute store near Harrods. Than we went to the National Gallary in Trafalgar Square and we saw some Vincent Van Gough pieces, they were beautiful! Than we went and hung out on the square and watched people and looked at the city! Next we walked to Big Ben and met up with a big group for dinner. Finally we walked back to the Center, all exhausted. Tomorrow we have our first day at church in the Hyde Park ward and Monday we start classes. I am really nervous about starting classes, I just hope I can keep up and get some decent grades. So far it was been very fun, and I am sure I will have a lot more to come!!
