Let me paint you a picture of what I am doing/experiencing. I am sitting in the upstairs of a little bagel shop in London in a room with about twenty other people on computers; some of the speaking Spanish and others sit quietly typing away. It costs £1 per hour, which is pretty good. I'm a little soggy for I have been walking around the rainy streets of London and through Hide Park and Kensington Garden. My friend Maggie is at a computer two rows away from me checking her mail as well.
The tour began with a two hour choir rehearsal in the concert hall yesterday morning and after that we ate lunch, parked our cars in the designated lot and boarded a coach for Chicago. After waiting an extra hour and a half for our plane to be fixed (Boeing 777 had an oil leak), we boarded and were on our way. It was not scary at all even though it was my first time. However, my ears are still plugged from the landing this morning. On the flight I gave the flight attendant a note from a flight attendant I met the night before at a graduation party. The note said something like do me a favor and take care of this nice girl. Because of the note I got a complimentary Bailey's Irish Cream.
This morning we toured the Tower of London and saw the Crown Jewels. Then we took a boat ride down the Thames.
Got to go talk to you soon.

Fel-
Glad that note got you special treatment...that lady at the bar was a very interesting woman to talk with (when you could get a word or two in).
Sounds like you're having a blast, despite some minor glitches. Hope you continue to enjoy the tour and use up lots of film, even though you're not big on taking pictures. I'M TOTALLY JEALOUS OF COURSE.
You must call me as soon as you get back. We'll chat. It'll be fun. Can't wait to hear more about the choir's progress as it takes Europe by storm ;)
