back to londontown...

we woke up at 5am to get everything on the bus and to get to the airport in time. we were heading home. it was bittersweet. i am ready to get home but also, a part of me is melancholy about what we are leaving behind. emily and abigail share this sentiment. it will be hard to try to really share our story and have people understand our experiences from the last 10 days.

we landed in london and checked into our hotel. we have an overnight lay over. the hotel was by heathrow airport so we had to take the tube into the city if we wanted to go. a dear friend of mine, crystal, just happened to be in london as well. we met her at picadilly circus, walked through the streets and had dinner at wagamama's...and we had ice in our drinks! it felt weird. we were so used to luke warm drinks (or bottled sodas at the house). it was so nice to see her and tell her some stories from our trip. we took the train back out to hatten cross station then walked to our hotel from there. it was after midnight. we were sleeping in clean, crisp sheets and had air conditioning. we felt like royalty.
