Heathrow

Is it 4:00PM or 8:00AM? You tell me.

The flight was as good as I could of had, considering my seat, and how I never sleep on planes. I sat next to some kindly senior citizens, they were going to Norway. Anyways, I watched Pink Panther and psuedo-slept. The airplane dinner food was GOOD! Especially the cheesecake, mmmm.

So, I'm in Heathrow airport now, about to fly to Sevile, or as seemingly everyone calls is, Seviyah. Hm, a flight attendant kind of chastised me for saying it the American way. Speaking of American ways: my family and I spent 10 minutes hiking around the entire terminal, looking for our gate, because it wasnt on our tickets. Only when we came to the last gate did someone tell us taht they hadn't even assigned a gate for our flight. We're so used to having our US flights having a gate number months in advance. Hm. So, we're waiting to find out where to go.

Well, I think it has finally hit me, IM IN EUROPE!!! I didnt believe it at first, but being surrounded by so many international people and cool fashion has convinced me. I almost forgot to pack my towel.

I hope everything is well in the States! I'm off to SEVILLAH. We're going to a bull fight tomorow night. fun fun! Adios

Derek, it sure sounds like you are going to have an experience that will you will NEVER forget.

Take some time to have some vino, buy some bread at a bread store, grab some cheese from the formaggioria, and take TONS of pictures.

Keep the posts coming.
