My life just flashed before my eyes... that was short

Dear Readers,
I have been in America for a total of 10 days since my trip to England (well, not counting the day in Cincinatti...). It is great to be home. I will try to relay all that I did starting from the beginning, but not all in one post. That would be a loooong post. I shall now start to look into my past....

It was cold when I came into to world. It's still a bit blurry. I remember someone saying, "It's a girl!".... okay, a little too far back maybe...

The ten hour flight. That was fun. A few hours full of turbulence from the storm that was raging outside the airplane. I couldn't get any sleep. Who could? Not because of the turbulence, of course, but because in just a few long hours I would be stepping onto land I've dreamed of for years. London. We got their at 7:00 A.M. (1:00 A.M. our time) and although I hadn't been completely alert when the plane landed, I sure was when I stepped off of it. We walked around and through crowds of anxious and cranky people, got our bags and headed toward the bus. When we stepped outside a breath of fresh air wafted around us. It felt like it was the first day of Spring unlike the blazing hot Summer at home. England air!
After walking around the airport all day we melted into the cushiony seats of the bus and chilled for an hour and a half on our way to the hostel. The small, scenic houses were beautiful. Unlike America, they didn't have houses on large plots of land everywhere. They had thin, tall, cottage-like houses in rows. Though, surprisingly, they didn't look squished. They looked quite cozy, in fact.
To our relief, we finally arrived at our destination "Ashlee" our Hostel. The rooms were more like a camp room with bunk beds than a "hotel". Our room, of course, was on the top floor. Fortunately, they had one small "lift" (elevator) so we didn't have to pull all of our bags up the stairs. We got to our rooms, got situated, cleaned up a bit, then went to start our tour of London.
We walked all around, stopped at a "Tesco's" (grocery store), got some... interesting sandwiches and DR. PEPPER!!!!, then walked somemore to a little garden area for lunch......

That will have to be all for this post because I must do Spanish or my teacher will threaten me with her awesome luchador skills *wink, wink* and... I can't remember what happened after that for the moment *nervous smile*. But, it will come to me!

Farewell until later *said she in a mysterious voice*
