The longest day...

This has been SUCH a long day(s?). I don't even know anymore - everything is a blur.
Lizzy and I left with Carrie around 8 AM on the 30th - we were expecting to hit tons of traffic for a the pirate festival, Gasparilla, but fortunately everything turned out just fine. We flew out of Tampa to JFK, JFK to Heathrow. We finally got into London around 6:30 AM local time. We waited for our friend Andrea at the airport and took the train to Paddington Station. From there, we took a taxi to the house. We were greeted by our professor and given a tour of the house before dragging our bags up two flights of stairs. I'm sharing a triple with Lizzy and Andrea, so it should be a great time. =D
We wanted to try to get on a normal eating schedule, so we took a trip down the road to Pret a Manger, the local sandwich shop - I also got coffee. Caffeine can only do so much. I fell asleep an hour afterward.
So it's about 4:30 in the afternoon here...or should I say 16:30? We don't really have any big plans for tonight, just getting dinner and passing out. =)
These are some photos from Gower Street to Tesco, a British version of Walmart/Publix.
