Cheerio!
Hello from Londontown! It has been a whirlwind trip but we managed to get in a lot of stuff.
My travel buddy, Amanda, and I started our journey on Sunday evening at 10:00 p.m. when we flew out of LAX on a red eye to New York City. We got off the plane at 5:45 in the morning, dropped off our bags at our hotel in Manhattan and headed off to the city. We went to a great little diner for breakfast and then spent a few hours walking around--we made it to Times Square, and the surrounding area. We pretty much did a walking tour of Manhattan and were simply exhausted by the time lunch rolled around. The city was amazing, and it was everything I imagined. Later on, we met up with a friend from Chapman and went to the Natural History Museum for the afternoon. That evening we joined her for dinner at an Italian restaurant next to where Letterman is shot and then went to bed for the evening.
The next day was spent travelling all day from JFK airport, then to Dulles, then to London. To make a long story short, we arrived in London on Wednesday the 16th early in the morning. We then had the rest of the day free which we spent drinking coffee, napping and getting used to the time difference. We went to a fun dinner at Med Kitchen, a posh restaurant down the street from our hotel. Everything is so expensive here, so I enjoyed a small salad with hardly any dressing on it--but it was delightful in its own special way.
Later on we went to our first english pub had one drink and then went straight to bed.
This morning we enjoyed a bus tour of the city where we saw The Tower Bridge, St. Pauls Cathedral and some other great sites around the better part of London. I will be uploading pictures pretty soon.
This afternoon, we had a great lunch at another pub in London. We then took the "Tube" to Westminster Abbey and the famous Harrods department store. Tonight we are seeing the musical, "Avenue Q." We are all very excited!!
Tomorrow, we are off the Munich for the evening and then Prague the next day. Miss you all, and I will post another update soon.
Much love,
Steph :)

Great post, Steph. Keep 'em coming - lots of folks are interested in your adventures. Mom and I are very proud of you.
Love, Dad
Steph,
This is just a quick note that I'm really enjoying your blogging adventures through Europe and that my World History and Geography students are as well. You're doing a great job. Oh, I've got several students from Northgate that'll be at Chapman next year. I'll touch base with you about the influx of Broncos from up north later.
Mr. Nicholson
