oh London! i must say, it's been quite the culture shock coming here.. so different from everything we experienced in armenia!!!! we've kind of split up, traveling as we please in smaller groups of people and it's kind of nice not having to keep track of at least 13 people!

most of us have been enjoying the wonderful theatre of london. there is a place where we can buy amazing tickets at half price the day of the show so donavon and lana went to see Chicago last night and 7 of us went to see Les Miserables. we're about to run off to yet another show tonight.. Spamalot! personally, i'm extremely excited but you know how that goes.

we've done a lot of sight seeing and shopping but the real kicker is the exchange rate! when we convert the cost, things end up being twice as much! and normally that wouldn't be so bad.. except that the price we see in pounds is the same price we would normally pay in dollars! for example, Starbucks is about $3 at home... here Starbucks is 3 pounds. it looks right until you realize you're paying TWICE as much. it sucks...

we will finally be heading home tomorrow with at least a 12 hour flight. so hopefully we will get lots of sleep tonight because we are meeting in the lobby at 7:15am to head to the airport!!!!! and we are flying virgin air.. the coolest airline ever where we are stocked with individual TVs that have about a 100 movies to choose from, TV show episodes, and music.... aka nobody will be sleeping on this flight :)

well i gotta catch the underground to Spamalot so we will see you all TOMORROW!!!!!
