After an eight-hour flight and about three hours of sleep, Pigwidgeon and I have arrived in London.
Heathrow was easy to navigate and, while the underground tunnels between terminals turn so often you lose all sense of direction, it saves you from dealing with vehicle traffic, which is a bigger deal than it sounds. London is a city where the right of way belongs to drivers and it's unwise to assume they'll stop for you.
Some of us decided to take a chauffeur service from Heathrow to the Study Center so we had the chance to experience a wonderful tour of the city on our way. It's amazing how close everything is. I can't wait to explore more. We did take a short walking tour of the staples in our neighborhood and had the chance to take a quick grocery trip but there is still very much more to see.
The Study Center where we are staying was built in the late 1600s. Since then it's been remodeled but still has many of its old charms along with many modern amenities (such as plumbing, a stove, and internet). That said it does not have air conditioning and the city seems to be experiencing some unexpected hot weather. Here's hoping for some cooler weather tomorrow.
