Dearest Alex,
We are NOT having fun in London. It rained like we were in a hurricane today. ALL DAY! And the wind was awful - the rain was practically horizontal at times with the force of the wind. Amanda and I stayed inside in the morning, catching up on schoolwork and doing laundry.
Finally, when we decided that the rain was just not going to stop, we ventured out determined to stay as dry as possible. We went to Canary Wharf and explored there and then went to the Tower of London. It was amazing, but hard to really experience when you are darting about from covered spot to covered spot trying to avoid being blown into the Thames by the wind. The Crown Jewels were very impressive.
Outside the Tower of London in the only 5 minutes without heavy rain the whole day. Actually it was drizzling but Amanda was tired of wearing a wet coat!
King Henry VIII's set of armour! Awesome!
Finally got to Skype with G4 tonight. It has been hard to get in touch with him because he has been studying for finals. But they are finally over! We are going to work on bringing him over to Europe to stay with me while I am waiting for your 10 day waiting period to be up. Let’s hope we can work out flights.
Can’t wait to leave London day after tomorrow and get back to Ukraine. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that there will be good news from the SDA about the paperwork!
Love,
Bethany, G3, G4, & Amanda
