Week 1 is behind me now and I am already 1 day into Week 2.... I have experienced so much in just 8 days it is amazing!  Today was by far the best day of sight seeing and I never went very far from the apt.  I just explored the east and north side of downtown today.  Lunch was nice and the day was full of walking and picture taking.  I even helped a few "tourist" take pictures so they could have group shots.  I love group shots!!  I love people being together.. having fun.. laughing.. and enjoying life.  I feel sad that I don't have my friends with me but I know that there is a reason I am here and I will just enjoy the time alone the best I can.  I cried less today than yesterday and that is a good thing.  I have realized that I am okay by myself.. I just choose not to be alone... but .. I can make it.

Some of the things I love about downtown London or Central London as they call it .. is that there a little shops, pubs, and places to eat everywhere... l love the carts that have food sitting out.. not covered in plastic wrap.  I love the pastries.. the mulled wine and the mulled apple cider.. I love the chimes I hear every day.  I love the old buildings that seem to wind into each other.. like they are all melted together to form one but yet they are all individual. I love the streets that are made out of brick and stones.. and the fact that I am right next to the Thames river which is massive and busy.  So with all of the sadness I feel in my heart missing my loved ones.. I do feel happy that I am getting to see things I would have never been able to see without this job oppportunity.  I just am really looking forward to the hugs from my crew and my family and for them to come over here and share this great place with me.
