Well, I'm sure you all want to hear about how my trip is going so I'm not
going to sugar coat a single thing: it SUCKS. First, after my flight
fiasco (missing the crossover flight and having to fly directly out of
Newark as a standby) I made it to London 30 minutes before the rest of my
class. I met them at their baggage claim (because my baggage was floating
around Washington somewhere) We got to the hotel, checked in, and had a
great day touring. Today was fine too, we rode the tube, went on a tour in
the Tower of London (which was great) and then went to eat. I would also
like to report that my bag was stolen out from under my feet (with the
handle around my foot) while eating at the restaurant with my two professors, Nancy, Beth, and Lauren. I have no money, no card, no passport and no clothes (because once again, my luggage is missing). I have my camera (thank GOD), £20, the clothes that I rode the plane on, an extra pair of socks (that I got on the plane) and a few pairs of underwear. Other than that, I'm dirty,
oily, and tired, and I've probably cried 40 out of the last 48 hours. Dad's
cancelled my credit card and he's going to send me a card soon (while I'm in
London at least) I'll bum some money off of Nancy until then. We're going to see the musical, "We Will Rock You" tonight at seven thirty so that should be fun. My professors made sure I got another ticket as well as a new tube pass.
Until next time,
Long live London (ha.)
