Nice little friday...

I Found an Internet Cafe here and thought I'd post something while I have the opportunity. I've only been away two days and it already seems like a week. London is a pretty cool city, and I couldn't ask for nicer or more hospitable hosts than Abby and Toby. Abby met me at the London Bridge station after I landed yesterday. Unfortunately it took me about three hours to get there, but luckily we both arrived around the same time. Abby and Toby had taken the day off work, so they were able to show me around the city--which was great. I hope I wasn't too much of a dud considering I slept for about 45 minutes on my 8 hour flight, and it was 8am Chicago time when we started touring around. We had lunch in Borough Market, grabbed ice cream, and walked up and down the river seeing the typical sites. For dinner we went to Wagamama (apparently coming to the States..?) and grabbed a pint after. By nightfall (about 2pm CST) I was having a hard time completing sentences. I would say it was just seconds after the air mattress was blown up I was out like a light for nine hours. Took the train in with Abby and Toby this morning, and Abby is keeping my massive backpack (which she named Big Betty) at her office for the day while I explore around. I spent the morning at the Tate Modern which was great. First I took a nap on one of their sofas, then I toured the free galleries. Was cool to see a Mark Rothko in person. Picking up Big Betty later this afternoon and heading to the airport for my 7pm flight. Tonight I meet 5-6 people from my Habitat trip--including Lynn, the trip leader as we are on the same flight to Lusaka. Hope I sleep more on this 10 hour flight than I did coming here to London. My phone was working here in London, however I forgot the power plug conversions. Not sure what Zambia will be like, so hopefully my camera batteries make it through the trip. I can just see my battery dying just as a lion jumps on our hood or something.

Who knew that this was Tower Bridge, not London Bridge? Not me...
