London

 

 

Another time-travel.  Six time zones from home, it’s tomorrow here already when it’s still today there!

 

Thursday was our lost day.  We left Austin in the early evening and flew all night.  A nine-hour flight.  A couple of hours of activity (food and such), four or five hours of pretending to sleep.  My mind wandered a couple of times, maybe that counts.  Then another couple hours of feeding and morning coffee.  On the ground in England by ten in the morning Thursday.  Out of the airport by noon.  There was a little delay getting our plane to a gate.  By two o’clock we were finishing up our trip on the underground and congratulating ourselves about how we weren’t feeling tired at all.  At four o’clock the sun went down.  By five o’clock, we were lights-out.  Woke up and chatted a few times during the night but went back to sleep each time. 

 

Hung out with Becky and Brian all day today.  Walked around some Royal Parks and ate fish and chips at the Black Dog Pub before they headed back to their place for the night.

 

Our location relative to Heathrow.
