DAY 1

DAY 1
hi parents- i am here safe and sound. we are having a wonderful time!!! we are making videos of us recaping on our first day and hope to continue it....we will be putting them on youtube so it will be easy access for you guys :) today was going to be our mellow day but we were too pumped!! we haven't slept since we said our goodbyes-the plane was sweet, movies, chatting, and more.for example, lots of food, socks, sleep masks, toothbrush, toothpaste, and seriously the largest amount of options as far as movies, tv shows, music and sports.when we landed we exchanged money, easily got our bags and were on our way. We walked forever trying to get to our hostel. we had some great experiences on the tube which i would love to tell you about soon-and you will hear about in the video. Then we walked to catch a free walking tour which ended up being really cool!!!!!! it was a young guy, a senior in high school, and he rocked it. it lasted about 2-3 hours and we saw all the important stuff. we went out to dinner at this nice italian restaurant and all of us girls bonded really well. they are all amazing and we get along wonderfully. people in london are either really nice or really rude but so far we have encountered many more nice ones. london is absolutley gorgeous lit up at night and we walked down the side of the river to watch street performers; mimes, musicians, painters, the usual. some funny things are that we are at the hostel, which is pretty cool-we each have our own bed and the five of us share a shower and a toilet however we were unaware that we didn't get towels so we have no towels to shower with at this point becuase we refuse to spend 10 for a towel for a night lol. anyways, that is a brief catch up on our day. i hope you are having a great day!! i love you and you can write me whenever you get a chance and i will write you back when i am back on (we were supposed to get free internet but now they are changing companies and say we have to pay, but being girls we used some magic skill to talk them into otherwise tonight. lol. if you would like to send this message to others that would be cool becuase i have limited time but don't feel like you need to( except for keith and kell, please send this to them). i love you family!!!
