well, i have safetly made it to london. i love it here! there are a lot of american things here that i really missed...it feels refreshing to hear english and be able to understand signs and such. everyone dresses really cool here and i love hearing english accents. today me and jenelle went to camden and walked around where there was lots and lots of really neat shops and food places. it was really fun. tomorrow we are going to go to westminster abbey, the london eye, and big ben. my camera broke! that is bad. but i think jenelle will take pictures and then i can just get them from her something.
my favorite part so far was on my flight to london. we got to sit wherever we wanted on the plane. i saw this really old english couple, and i thought they looked nice, so i sat with them. i was definatly right. i ended up talking with them the entire flight. they were so sweet. they even bought me bottled water on the plane. they helped me figure out how to get to livelpool street station, where i had to meet jenelle. it worked out soooo well, because i had NO idea where i was going. after the flight, they walked me to the area i had to go. then after we had said our goodbyes, i went and waited in line for the bus i needed. then i heard someone shouting my name, and i turned around and it was the old man, martin. he was like "are you ok?? do you know where you are going? " and i was like "uhhh....yeah, i think im ok" and then in his awesome english accent he was like "ok, we'll be keepin a beety eye on you!!". haha, and then....he came back AGAIn while i was waiting and gave me their phone number and address in case i needed help or something, or if i wanted to visit them while im here. they were so nice! they are retired and live in london. they travel the world a lot...i got to hear all about their adventures. so me and mr. and mrs. dyson are basically best friends. haha. i told jenelle about them, and we might try and go visit them out in the country area. the dyson's are just one example of how i have felt God's love and protection. he has been so faithful in providing me the things i need and more. before i talked with martin, i thought i was supposed to go to liverpool, the city...which is very far from london. but, thankfully, i was pointed in the right direction.

Love hearing all about your adventures Cori! And of God's protection and grace.
Hope you can continue to get photos, even though your camera broke!!
Aw, what a blessing to have met that couple. Especially if you feel like you're lost in London. And English speaking people would be such a relief too!

Glad you got to go to London. It is 1 of my favorite cities. I know from experience that the British people are very friendly and love to talk to tourists. I always felt comfortable when anywhere in the Britits Isles. How did you like Westminster Abbey? I loved it. Seeing where all the famous and infamous are interred was a thrill. I especially liked seeing Elizabeth I as she is my favorite monarch. Enjoy your travels. It's something you will remember for the rest of your life.
God has created you as a very special creation, Cori. You are drawn to people and people are drawn to you.
Your freindlyness is a gift. I'm glad you can use it to Honor and Glorify our King.
I probably would have talked about "Mrs. Bucket" and "Mr. Bean" and "Mr. Rumpelt"..... I really hope you and Nug have the time and spirit to go and visit your new best friends.
Cori!!! That is so spectacular. I love elderly English people. Go visit them again, okay? For me?
I'm so glad you're safe in England, and I know you must be having a blast. Watch out for pick-pockets.

How was the "Eye"? I went on it and it was superb! We went at dusk, which was really cool. Sweet, have fun.
