Arrival Day in London

Through various modes of transportation, 6 Westerners, 1 Brazilian, and 15 Chinese have arrived in London, leaving 3 more Chinese en route to St. David's Hotel (where we are staying) as I write this entry. Plans are in place for a Big Bus Tour of London tomorrow that will provide a sweeping overview of the grand ole city. We're hoping for a good night's sleep in preparation for our big day tomorrow.

Welcome!
