We made it!

Friday, may 14
The flight to London was smooth, though no one got any sleep. We all made it through customs and had an interesting bus waiting for us. After dropping off luggage at hotel, some of us went to British museum... Amazing! Others walked to Coventry garden. Then we all met up and navigated the London tube and rail to find the brewery, excellent visit to a successful entrepreneurial company. Look for the photos in our photo album. Nj

We persevered through a tough Friday with barely any (or in most of our cases, no) sleep, but we made the most of it! While traveling on the roads and tubes of London, we came across sites that we will surely visit in the near future. We are very excited for a full night's sleep and for extensive touring tomorrow!

I'm kind of caught in that zone where the events of yesterday, when we started this adventure, do not seem like that long ago, yet the last thirty hours have seemed endless. It has been both great and terrible. I think if any of us could have gotten some semblance of sleep or rest we might be alert enough to judge our first day here more fairly. Dr. Jones and Dr. Strong are doing a terrific job, and after we have gotten some much needed sleep this is going to be an awesome trip. MC

Vernal #2: I concur that at this point the beginning of this "day" (or two days?) seems like forever ago. I have been fully impressed by everything I have seen in the UK and there are so many places we skipped that we will surely go back to, especially Cantina which is an awesome restaurant that MC pointed out. Everyone is doing great, especially when considering the lack of sleep and large amount of walking. Everyone has been very social and I have enjoyed my time with every single person. I think everyone will also feel better after a good night sleep. BV
