At Heathrow Airport
I just got into the airport, and we're waiting for our ride to the hotel. Flying in over London was interesting. Everything was sooo green, and I swear I saw Harry Potter's neighborhood a few times - so many of them looked like what that movie showed. The flight was long (10 hours) and I actually ate my first in-flight meals... Nothing to rave about of course. It was also kind of trippy on the plane seeing the highway traffic driving on the opposite sides of the road to us. And when we got off the airplane, there was a sign the read "Buggy Drivers: Note New Direction." I think it's kind of cool that they call the baggage carts either trollies or buggies. Sounds nicer than 'baggage cart'. And then also, the signs for the elevator said "Lift", which I never knew that that was their official name for it... I always just thought it was like slang. :)
My mom and sisters are sitting here arguing about the British currency and how a pence compares to a penny. I'm sure we sound like such lame-o's around the native English sitting around us. I think I'll have much more empathy in the future for people not from America.
Oh, AND there are soo many Middle Easterners, and women who are completely cover are everywhere it seems!
