so. i have arrived in europe for my three month and one week extravaganza. i'm exhausted, but so excited. i flew in last night on a red eye and was welcomed by my lovely friend kristin who has a flat near russell square. after she fed me, and we caught up, i headed out to explore the infamous harrod's and notting hill. they are farther apart then i realized.... notting hill was cute, but i did not find the blue door. although, i did have a spotting of brass from csi. for real! he was carrying bread, and i stared at him for quite awhile. i got a "hi" out of him. sometimes i forget that 'famous' people are just real people too, who have to buy bread and feed their families. i got a taste of lse this evening with a few pints at the campus pub. kristin has already fallen asleep, and i should probably sleep myself, as it is 12:30 at night and i haven't slept yet! i think i am doing a bang up job of switching to this time zone. although, admittedly, i did fall asleep on the tube this afternoon.
i have a great feeling about this adventure, though. i wasn't nervous at all on the plane, AND the seat next to me was left empty! i got to spread out and sleep comfortably. that was definitely a sign. also, at the airport in ottawa i found and penny and picked it up.
after only one day of london carolynn, kristin and i will be heading to dublin tomorrow. we'll be searching for craic.
write lots friends!
