Sara's Last Day in the US/ Joseph's First Day Abroad

Joseph left yesterday at about 5:30. He's sent me a couple e-mails from London. He is staying in a hostel (approved by Cosmo, oddly) in a room with 10 students from France and Germany. He went to the British Museum and to a pub called the Crown, which he said was awesome.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) I will be flying out at 6:25 (British Air #2226 to Gatwick). I've flown to Europe twice before and to Hawaii, so I know what to expect on a long flight. It's still hard to mentally prepare to sit in one position for 8 hours and politely chat to a single serving friend.

Right now I am packing and re-packing to make it under the 51 pound limit. In a little while, I'll be going out with Mom, Dad and Matthew for my "last meal" at La Parrilla. I figured Mexican would not be as common in the UK as it is in the States. I will miss their tacos- and y'all too!
