This and That!

I thought I would fill you in on what happens at night when I come back from a long day of site seeing.  First if it isn't confusing enough, at maybe 10-11pm your time when you might be winding down to go to sleep, we are starting our day.  This creates a interesting scenario when trying to communicate to folks back home.  When I get home for the day at 8-9pm you might be on your lunch at work, or you could be like my son on his summer break and just barely waking up for the day (lol).  Anyway since I am staying in a dorm I usually come home when there is nothing more to do and London is a city to avoid after dark unless I am with Jason.  It doesn't get dark here until after 9pm it seems and since we are at a dorm there is chatter and people moving about all night long.  This is my time to shower, rest my feet from walking all day, listen to my books on my Itouch or connect with my family or friends back home.  I update my blog all day (as time permits or as I find Internet on the way). In London all McDonald's have free Internet and you can find plenty of McDonald's here.  I am taking 200-300 pics a day so I have to spend some of my evening sorting those out before they get out of control and then likely I might finish or update my blog. 

This morning was the first time I saw Jason before he left for school.. (that was awesome).  I have no phone so we have roughly an hour to debrief every night before we go to bed. We mainly discuss each others day and figure out whats next for tomorrow.  He has been here longer and has done everything I am doing with school so he is an excellent person to bounce my plans off of.  He tells me where to eat, what to eat and how to get there.  His schedule is very long and hectic.  He leaves at 7:30am meets his group and gets home after 7pm of which he usually just came back from dinner.  He told me today to get a cell phone so I might be reconnected to the world after today.  We might trade converters or laundry or any other issue of the day.  That is one great things for him that I am here- I can get small things done for him that he simply wouldn't have any time for.
