and..Day 1 sorta

Interesting factoid of the day: Chicken selects with sour cream and chive dip doesnt actually taste bad at all! I am now sitting in my friends flat in London after quite the long plane ride, the train ride and tube ride. but i'm sitting pretty now and am probably due to fall asleep at any moment given that its about 5am back home.
Words to describe the Atlanta airport: ghetto, good smelling soap, and what had to be most of the U.S. army. no joke. like there were hundreds of them. the WHOLE airport was the army. But i was only there a half an hour. We had an amazing fligh attendent man who was all about being jovial. He didnt want us to think about us sitting on a plane and being bored. he was all "think of it as coming to my house! we'll watch some movies..have some drinks share some laughs. bring out the home movies!" it was a laugh and a half. We got our own entertainment systems too complete with like full CDs movies and Tv stations. i mostly watched the travel network which had moroccan travel whatnot which made me miss morocco. but now i'm in london and a double decker bus just went by my window. on the wrong side of the street. what madness! The people here are so varied and interesting too. It always throws me off guard though when there are black people that have british accents. but its nice though. i just dont expect it. theres a lot of british being thrown around here and..i can hardly contain myself. pictures to come soon as soon as i finish taking a nap and i go out on the town. next up: the Thames, trafalgar square, westminster abbey and more! stay tuned.

the flight attendant sounds like a man after your own heart, doesn't he? i love it.

The reason that there was so many infantry in Atlanta is because Ft. Benning is one of the major staging areas for the Army.

Hope you enjoy your travels!
