We arrived in London-Stansted airport early Monday morning and took a bus into the heart of London at Victoria station. From the station we made our way through London, past Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, through Hyde park, and into South Kensington. We found our hostel and then went and explored a bit. Pat conveniently booked a hostel that is located about 4 blocks from the flats where the London CSBSJU students are staying. We meandered on over to their flat and hung out for a bit before our lack of sleep got to us and we had to return to our hostel for nap and rest time. Travel stresses me out I have found so before nap time I was pretty crazed, but after some sleep I felt better.
After we had woken up and reorientated ourselves we went out to eat with some of Pat's friends from the London trip and then we went to a Fulham v. Hull City soccer match which was lots of fun, Fulham won 2-0. Following the game we had some hot chocolate at the flats and then proceeded to sleepily make our way back to our hostel and crash. And crash we did! We slept in this morning and are just now, at 12:30, thinking about going out and doing something.
It is time for lunch though so I have got to get a move on, but in parting I am going to leave you with this: Disappear-Motion City Soundtrack
MCS is one of my all time favorite bands and this is their new single. It has a different sound than previous MCS songs, but it is definitely MCS and is definitely AWESOME! Just thought I'd share that, have a great day, more updates to come!

We watched this game in a pub -- glad to know you were there. Maybe my family and I will run into you guys. (Although how weird would that be?)
