We are headed home today. Our flight leaves at 2 p.m. and we get back into Chicago at 5:05 pm. Don’t let that deceive you, the flight is almost 9 hours long. I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I guess I’m anxious to get home. It was like I opened the door and let thoughts of what I need to do at the College and at home, etc. flood in and I couldn’t turn it off. So it must be time to get back home and back to work.
Overall impression of London. Considering that we arrived at the same time that a record-breaking Siberian cold front decided to descend upon the UK, the weather could be excused. It did make getting around much harsher, but we didn’t let it slow us down too much. In spite of the weather, London is a great city. Easy to get around and helpful people. I remember when we were her for 1 ½ days in 1997 that I was amazed by the variety of languages you could hear standing on a street corner. That feeling was brought home again on this trip. Being here really bring the entire world to you awareness, the different cultures, languages, foods, dress, etc is all on display here in London. The only other city I’ve been to that I felt that same type of globalness was Toronto. I will miss London but I’ll be happy to sleep in my own bed again and see the cats, dog and fat fish.
