Passing time in London

I arrived in London...Finally. After a long 10 hour flight I got off the plane to an overcast, cool London day. To much surprise, I made it around Heathrow airport smoothly, finding a place to store my carry on luggage, finding the train and figuring out what line would take me into the city. After taking the express train to the Peddington station, I switched to the underground line and got off at Piccadilly circus. I walked around through the cobblestone streets and remembered how much I love Europe! As I was waiting for my friend Chef, who Whit, Barb and I met last summer In Prauge, I sat on a park bench in a square and read my book. Nervous that I wouldn't recognize him, I looked up and he was suddenly there all dressed up straight from teaching. We grabbed a beer at a local pub, and as much as he wanted me to get a Guiness since I was in London, I refused! Then we walked around and grabbed a bite to each at a little Italian restaurant and had a good bottle of wine, caught up on life and realized how much fun it is too meet people during traveling. He is planning on getting married sometime soon and all three of us from last summer already have the invite!

More later, have to get on my flight to Athens!!
