England, Day 1 (10.21.10)

Now that I'm back from an amazing 3-week vacation, I'm finally posting pictures, starting with our first day in England.
We arrived in London in the morning, only to find out that our bags didn't come with us. We were concerned, but the employees near baggage claim simply said our bags were coming on a later flight and would be delivered to our hotel. So, we took a train or two and a cab out to the London temple - the temple workers were so sweet and excited to have us there.














After the temple, we went to the visitor's center, hoping they could help us understand how to get to our hotel in London. As we were talking to the missionary couple, a woman and her daughter stopped by to change their clothes before getting on the train back to London. When she found out where we were going, she said our hotel was close to hers, so we took the cab to the train station together, and she helped us figure out the Tube , then helped us find our hotel. We couldn't thank her enough...

That night, we found a pizza place for dinner, then finally went to bed around 9 pm, after being up for around 30+ hours :)

Wow, I'm excited to see more pictures about what you were able to do. Who did you go with? I loved the postcard. I got it last week and I was so shocked because I didn't know you were IN England. :) Thanks for thinking of me.
