London!


Hello from London! After a long day and night in which we lost 8 hours and in which some slept and some didn't, we arrived safely at Heathrow Intl Airport in London. After passing through customs we were able to venture around the town. We saw Big Ben and the Parliament building, Westminster Abbey, Tower of London and the Tower Bridge, Picadilly Circus and the West End, and finally Buckingham Palace. Now we are waiting to board our flight to Nairobi! Everybody is doing fine, taking our pills, and trying to figure what time it is. When we are able to, I will let you guys know how we are doing in Nairobi.

Amanda,
Don't count on coming home to a clean bathroom - just kidding. (I couldn't resist.)

Hey Maddie, I behaved and didn't add I love you - but I do!
