We're here and loving it

After about 18 hours either in a plane or an airport, we arrived in London about 1:30 p.m. Sunday (about 6:30 a.m. Wenatchee time). It took us about another hour to get through the line for passport checks and then we were off to Horsham. By the way, we were greeted by the most friendly, wonderful people at the airport - about 10 of them. In Horsham we sat down with all of them for some tea and biscuits. After tea, and dinner at our respective homes, we were a bit tired. :-) So forgive me for not writing before now.

We're getting the Internet thing worked out (I'm using someone else's computer right now), so hopefully updates, pictures and Skype calls home will be coming soon. Today I ate breakfast, met up with the whole group, toured the local district government, ate lunch at a local pub, walked to a local church and by some older homes (as in 17th century kinda old), and then toured items that will be auctioned later this week (ranging from the 17th to 20th centuries).

Now we're resting for a bit before heading to a Rotarian's home for dinner at 7 p.m. So far it's been amazing, and it's only been one day! The people are wonderful, the food is good (and there's plenty of it) and the countryside is absolutely beautiful.
