DAY TWO: 22 March, London
Arrived off the flight to a brisk morning! Man, London was C-O-L-D!
Were able to leave our luggage "In trasit" so we just had our carry-ons (which were still HEAVY!)
Began to learn to manuver our way around the Underground.
Did some people watching. Beautiful.

Your comments brought back lots of memories from when I chaperoned high school seniors on their trip to London!
Platform 9 3/4!! Too fun!
Looking forward to hearing more. Thanks for taking a break from pushing kids on swings and gardening to let us know about your adventures.
Always a pleasure!...actually that reminds me of seeing this morbidly obese family talking loudly and obnoxiously on the tube that were like from Iowa (Sorry, Jordan)or somewhere and seeing the reactions on other people's faces on the tube I was praying, "Please let the British think I am British!" It's those "American tourists" I can't STAND associating with!
I LOVE London.
Wagamama looks amazing...
can you say:
Jealous?
