We’re Home! (The Reader’s Digest Version)

I am going to try to be pretty detailed in the next post for the sake of our memories and per my Mom’s request but here is the reader’s digest version: Woke up at 5:30 AM CST and left Houston 10:30 AM CST – connection through Atlanta – arrived in London 6:30 AM GMT (that would be 12:30 AM CST.) We flew into Gatwick and physically arrived at our house at 10:30 AM GMT due to some VERY bad traffic. Once at the house we unloaded, had orientation with the students and lunch. I took a 2 hour nap while Trey went around and the students found out where the bank, grocery store and other neighborhood spots as well has how to purchase an Oyster card. Met back at the house and did a practice run on the tube before letting the students loose on their own. We hit Parliament, took a walk down the Thames River, walked to Westminster then took the tube home. We are now on an hour break before community dinner at a local restaurant. I am very grateful for the two hour nap, it really revived me, and poor Trey will sleep well tonight.
