As I write this I'm looking out my window at another gorgeous London day! I'm not being sarcastic, I thought it was going to be cold, rainy, and windy all the time, but there has been nothing but blue skies and sunshine since my arrival last Thursday. I'm told this is very unusual and that it won't last long, but I'm enjoying every minute of their sunny and 70's weather!
I arrived in London last Thursday, the 6th, at around 11:00 in the morning London time. Since then life has been a whirlwind! Settling into the house, working at the club, working at the church, trying to get a lay of the land, sightseeing, getting over jetlag, and drinking more tea than I have in my entire life; the past five days have been crazy! They have been good crazy though. I'm still trying to take everything in, process, and figure things out. I've been working without a schedule as my supervisors and I have not had the chance to all sit down and figure it out, but soon enough I will know when I'm supposed to be where. I'm definitely enjoying it though. The work, the people, the sights, I think I'm going to have an incredible year!
I received a great welcome to London and so far the city seems amazing! The people have been extremely kind, patient, and willing to answer any and all of my questions. London seems like a great place to be. I even saw part of the firework show for the closing ceremony of the paralympics over the Thames River. It was one of the best firework shows I have ever seen and a great welcome! Everything has been wonderful so far and I'm hoping it will only get better. Cheers!
