Question of the day

Hello all-
i made it to london safe! it has been a very long day in airports and on planes.
it was hard not to giggle at the flight attendant saying to me this morning..'cawfay oh tay for yau madaam' i have been the typical obnoxious american gawking at the new culture.
i ate fish and chips at a barlike place for lunch today. i have mostly been hanging out with the people from MN who were on our flight. most seem very friendly.
london is beautiful! all the buildings look so cool. they drive a lot faster here, we saw a man come about a half an inch from getting hit by a car that came around a corner going about 45 mph. yikes
it was weird seeing people driving on the 'wrong' side of the road, and car!
so my question is, are people supposed to walk on the same side of the sidewalk as the cars in that place drive in the street? it sure seems that way because i feel like i am bumping into everyone on the sidewalk!

tomorrow we have a tour and the rest of the day free, then up at 345 am to catch our flight to Spain.
remember, london is 6 hours ahead of mn right now, and Spain is 7.

yay! Happy to see you made it safely to London. That is a good question about what side of the sidewalk to walk on. Have you noticed what side people stay to when they walk up and down stairs? I always stay to the right. Do people in London stay to the left? Take care of your beautiful self! -- love, Aunt Teresa
