Finally we have arrived in London. And as much
as I loved the traveling we will no longer be changing hotels every few days
and be living out of suitcases. I think my favorite part is that we will
finally have easy access to washing machines and my clothes will no longer
smell like a have worn them six time (which seems about right.) I am guess we
smelt really bad because the directors of the London home, Alvaro and Thais,
asked us to make sure we shower and do our laundry. I cant even imagine what
that bus must have smelt like after 40 people not being able to do there laundry
for almost two weeks. The first couple of days of London have been very
relaxing and easy. The first day I mostly just unpacked, did laundry, and took
a long walk around Hyde Park. Today I did a lot of the same. I walked around the city and was able to
better orient myself. In the evening the program was able to go to barbican
hall to see the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The first half of the program was very
good with part of it accompanied with a piano player. The second half became a
sort of French opera that had the most bizarre story line ever. It was about a
clock maker’s wife who was trying to cheat on her husband. After two attempts
to do so she said that the day was wasted but in the end was able to find a man
just before her husband came home. Bizarre is the only word I could think to
describe it.
