HERE WE ARE!

'Ello there!

Our journey to London started off a little rough as the combined weight of our luggage was 336 pounds. Walking through the Miami and London airports has done permanent damage to our backs but that's okay, we have enough scarves combined to keep a small country warm.

We got in a taxi full of excitement and our driver immediately asked (say this to yourself in a British accent) "packed lightly, ladies?" Our lovely driver Oliver then showed us around town and as we got closer to school he told us not to walk alone in Peckham. We promised him we wouldn't and by the time we finished our sentence we had arrived in our new neighborhood, a full 10 minute walk from our new school, Goldsmiths. COOL!

After unpacking, some orientation meetings and a little exploring in our new neighbor"hood", we stumbled upon some really good cheap places to eat (perk number 1 of living here). Last night we enjoyed some jacket potatoes, basically it's a loaded baked potato with a London flare (topped with meat, chili, beans etc.). Might not look super appetizing but they were lovely.

Today we got adventurous and took the bus (the first time the wrong way) to Greenwich. Our eyes and mouths started to water as we saw Starbucks, Subway and Mickey D's. Greenwich is a close, lovely town that we definitely want to spend more time in. It's full of shops, restaurants, theaters and organic markets (we even found fresh squeezed Florida orange juice to feel even more at home). As if that weren't enough, we got to eat TEX-MEX tonight! The place even had an American flag hanging inside. Go freedom!

In less than 48 hours we've already cried, laughed, and made some new friends. Tomorrow we're off to explore the touristy spots and attend a "Crazy Hat" party. We miss our friends and family dearly but we LOVE skyping, so hit us up often!

Cheers.
