Greetings from over the pond

Hey Everyone!
I arrived safely in London at 9 a.m. local time...4 a.m. Cincy time....and am a bit lacking in the sleep department. Very difficult sleeping on the plane, but managed to get a few hours. Arrived at the hotel at about 11:30 a.m. after a long cab ride. It is in the mid-50s with plenty of sunshine and great panoramic views of the city. Our hotel is near the Hyde Park area and is quite lovely (to borrow a favorite word of the Brits). Tonight, I am going to watch Arsenal soccer at Emirates Stadium against Slavia Prague at 7:45. My cousin Noah from S.F. is here studying abroad and is joining us for the match. I must be going now. Tomorrow promises to be awesome with a visit to Westminster Abbey, the changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace, an afternoon stroll and a visit to Parliament to check out some debates. Love and miss everyone!!
