Hello friends!!! I am in London safely after my 7 and a half hour flight from Chicago. The plane was HUGE...but I basically slept through the entire thing. My favorite part of the flight was flying over what I think was Ireland...(Cork I believe)..which all of your Cummings' should be super excited about...and the fact that I could watch TV. I slept most of the way, except for when they asked me if I wanted fish or chicken...really British Airways? I was so excited! The best meal I have had on an airplane was on Southwest when they gave me an extra thing of peanuts! This meal included a salad, bread, fish, veggies, and my favorite...cheesecake :) After that, I took a long "nap" which ended up being the sleep that I got considering I didn't sleep when I got here. I was too excited!

Anyways, when I got to London, my HEAVY backpack and my huge suitcase and I took the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station to meet Mallory. When we eventually got back to Erica's (which is in a really cute part of London) we dropped my stuff off and did some sight seeing. We took the Tube to Big Ben, the London Eye, the Westminster Abbey, and then we got on a sightseeing bus where we sat on top and listened to some history of London and took a ton of pictures. We had a great time taking some funny pictures with all of the neat stuff here. We even saw the Tower Bridge go up because of a huge/tall sailboat that had to go through. We ate at a delicious Italian pizza place and drank some Italian beer...which Dad..get excited..I am taking a picture with all of the foreign beer that I try, so you can eventually try it at World of Beer!...so get excited for that :)

After we ate we hung out at home and tried to figure out how we are getting to Paris tomorrow....which was kind of a pain, but we eventually figured it out! After being on hold for a while and dealing with a lot of people...we decided it was important that we try out a pub down on the corner. Well, we got poured on, which was terrific..but I didn't care...even though we had to go around an extra three blocks out of our way to avoid Mallory's new/ex London Lover. That was a great time...so we went to a place called Chepstow and drank some delicious beer called Krunnenburg 1664 or something like that...Mallory and I can't really spell. Well we hung out there until it stopped raining and we decided that maybe we should go find Erica. Well we are back now and she is not so what else to do? probably back to the pub...hmm. There is one on every corner here, which is so fun!

Basically...here is the deal. I am living here when I graduate...with Mallory. I have only been here one day and I absolutely love it! So yes...that is the plan. :) I better be going though...we are going to eat and maybe hit up a club tonight before we take a ferry and train to Paris tomorrow! Love and miss you all!!
