The big day

We did so much stuff today, I'm putting it in list form:

1. Took a tour of Arsenal Stadium, wicked cool. I got a soccer ball, and an Arsenal jersey.... with my name printed on the back!

2.Lunch, Leenie had friends over. I enjoyed Belgium pate with Italian bread and fizzy lemonade. Sorry mom, I'm not coming home!

3. The London Eye! We flew (yes, flew is exactly the way they put it) first class, which included a smaller group per cabin, no one hour lines, and a guide explaining all the sites
to us.

4. London duck boat tour, complete with awesome views (not to mention floating around in the river Thames), and a brilliantly funny tour guide! I recommend this tour to anybody coming to london anytime soon, it's great fun and YOU DON'T GET WET!

All in all, clearly the best day of my amazing trip! Life is good!

Wow, Wes, it just sounds like each day is better than the last!

Mega THANKS to Wes's excellent, indulgent, and high-stamina tour guides! ("Charge it to the palace!")

Love,
Awestruck and envious,
Teri

Wow, that sounds awesome!

I want to go back to London!

(Especially after reading _The System of the World_)

Ah Jimma: you finally got around to the Stephenson trilogy? Time to catch up to 2007: Have you read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" yet? Anyone else? I just finished it, if someone wants a copy.
