hey bloggers- day 1 and 2

howdy our blog readers!

seth and robbie here. sorry first off for last night, lots of technical difficulties getting on the internet. so we mangled a computer tonight, but just a head's up, the shift key doesn't work. so there won't be capital letters....we apologize.

but now for your moment of truth! england!!!

day 1, the plane

not much to it, but it was a fun two plane rides. the plane on the way to newark was like the moped of airplanes. it was three seats wide, and i, robbie, could touch each side of the plane simultaneously. cody gardner says it was a smart car with wings. it was nothing short of tiny. we were delayed 30 minutes so we ran across the airport and boarded our connecting flight properly. as well as met up with the other group in a funny manner. the flight began and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the touch screens. seth says, the touch screens made him feel bad because he kept tapping hard and shaking the seat in front of him, while she tried to sleep. sleep however was the last thing on any students mind. some managed to get to sleep though, and that was about it for day 1.

moving quickly, 10 minutes left on time. ;-p

day 2-first day in london

mr. k didn't lie when he said it would be the hardest day. sleep was now the first thing on anyone's mind. we met up with our guide, eric, and ran to the charter bus to get a view of london, from the bus. about 99% of the people slept as soon as they hit the bus, but that's ok we got another view today. anyways! we stormed the tower of london. we learned about the beef eater guards, the ginormous ravens, and saw some...funny armor? it was a blast, but most people, dragged their feet for most of it. your sons and daughters may be a bit shaky on the details...like we said, long day.

next was lunch at the tower, and we could go anywhere in the area. some stayed with the classics like subway and kfc, but others actually embraced the local cuisine with fish and chips meals.

swung by our postmodern hotel to "freshen" up. our hour to relax was greatly appreciated. no rest for the weary though and we jumped on the tube or "choob" as the english call it. it was nifty, and just like americans, no one talks, so naturally, as normal crazies would do, we got them to talk to us. it was spiffy. the eye was ginormous, even though it was raining we got great views of the magnificent city of london, including parliament and westminster abbey. we then went on a 4-d adventure that was...bubbly.

dinner that night was beef, gravy, peas, carrots, and potatoes. it was delicious. next our group split and half went to the hard rock cafe, for the music devout, and half went home to collapse in the relaxing beds. the hard rock cafe was packed as expected, but we got to see rock history icon's instruments blessed from heaven. such as jimi hendrix's flying v, and the beatles' harpsichord. we all came home and collapse.

so that was day 1 and 2, lotsa fun, and we will relog in to post day 3 and hopefully pictures!
