The Trip and The First Few Days

So far so good. Once I got to London from the flight, things seemed to settle in pretty well. I went to a Pub with a couple of guys from my room in the flat and watched some football from a day or so before. We grabbe some dinner at a Thai resteraunt that was across the street and got to now each other. We met up with some other people from the trip and talked for a while longer. I headed to bed realively early because at point, I had been up for some where around 40 hours, pretty much straight. I was pretty tired. The next day we had a meeting at the Foundation House. This is the headquarters of the foundation that we're associatted with and where we have class. They went over stuff like living in London, so what to buy and such. They went over the facilities use and maintence and that sort of thing. We went to lunch at this little baguet sandwich shop. It was pretty cheap and pretty good, so I'll probably be eating lunch there quite a bit. After lunch we went out on a walking tour around Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. That was pretty cool. Its absolutely amazing how many embassies are around here, in fact we live next door to the Dutch embassy. I'd take a picture, but I'm not sure what the police would do if they saw me doing it.

Things are going pretty well for me here. It's taking me a quite a while to get used to time change. I think that it's because we're so much farther north. Since the sun isn't up as much I don't get as much sun light which is screwing up my sleep cycles a little bit. I also haven't been running as much because I got sick before I came over so I didn't run for a week or so before I left. I got a run in today. I found a nice four mile run around the park and that felt really good. So things are looking good here.
