And we're here!

After a sleepless night of packing Kari and Kati have arrived in London. Our first stop after checking into our hostel, which is rather lovely, was naturally Pizza Hut. The cheese was unlike that of the American kind and the crust melted in our mouths. Ok, maybe that's not entirely truthful but we were overtired, overhungry (?) and feeling cheap=plain medium deep dish. Problem solved.
But of course you don't want to hear about our fast-food dining experience! After 9 glorious hours of sleep, we woke up, ate breakfast and started our adventure. We went to the British Museum, Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, Big Ben, walked down the Thames, the Tate (blah), and rounded it up with a tour of where Kari used to live, complete with the Horseshoe, a Snakebite and Rosebury Kabob. *Warning: this next comment may upset many readers: PRINTWORKS NO LONGER SERVES LONG ISLAND PITCHERS. Gaaasssspppp. We were very disappointed. So tired, alone and cold, we dragged ourselves back to the hostel. Well, only the first is true because we are LOVING it here. Tomorrow we are going on a tour of the Royal crap, no big thing, we love history facts. Hope you all are missing us sufficiently because we are certainly thinking of you.

You are certainly missed...and envied. Okay so envy is a sin but I confess that I AM ENVIOUS! And I look forward to each new entry in your blog. What a great way to share your adventure with those of us left behind. It's great you were able to visit the "old neighborhood" where I'm sure there are many wonderful memories for Kari, and stories for Kati. Keep up the great comments and pictures. We love you. Kari's Mom
