Life in the UK

Everything has been great in London so far! We're in such a good location and can walk or take the tube almost everywhere (which surprisingly I'm getting used to). We've met people from all over the world, from Sweden to China to Nebraska. The buildings here are so old and pretty, a lot different from the U.S. I've taken hundreds of pictures in only two days because I love everything having to do with the trip so far. Last night, we saw the European Championship soccer ("football" in Europe) game at the pub... which was probably equivalent to the superbowl in the U.S... crazy ("mad"). Today we went to the Roding Valley High School in England, which was so much fun. The kids and teachers were all so personable, and we honestly learned a lot about their culture from them. They actually said that they thought Americans had one of the strongest accents that they were used to, so we each tried imitating each other's accents and decided we should switch for a day... sounds fun, but not very practical. I do know that we all wished we could have hung out with the kids a little longer since they were so honest and friendly. It's honestly been a great experience so far. If all goes well, Caitlin and I are off to Amsterdam and Paris tomorrow! We'll keep in touch.. Cheeri-o! : )
