Day One

Nathan:

Day one actually encompasses two days. Jordan and I left Houston at approximately 8 pm on Monday, June 15th and arrived in London at 11 am on Tuesday, June 16th. It took a 9 hour flight and 6 hours of time zones, but we were finally in Europe. I was quite honestly amazed at how quickly we breezed through security in Houston and customs in London, but I'm definitely not complaining.

From London, we immediately boarded a bus for Norwich, England, a 3 hour drive east from Heathrow. Our host family actually lives about 20 minutes outside of Norwich in Reedham, so we walked from the bus station to the train station. We arrived in Reedham and were greeted by Mrs. Horwitz. She drove us to her nice little house and introduced us to her sons Jack and Sam. We all talked and got to know each other over a nice dinner, my first sit-down meal since Sunday night. Anyway, it's getting late, I'm tired from traveling, and I smell like a plane + a bus + a train. But I can fix that tomorrow morning. G'night y'all from Reedham, England.

P.S. Jordan will be gaining access rights to the blog to post her own stuff shortly, probably tomorrow.
