Hello everyone! <3 Here's what I've been up to:

Tuesday:
Got to the airport, went through security okay, a lot of waiting around.
Was exciting to take off, as I've not been in a plane for a very long time and was only once before. I quite liked seeing the city from above at night - a sight I had never seen before, not even in pictures! Was also interesting that around 1:45am EST, it was pitch black outside with just a hint of sunrise. 20 minutes later, I woke up from my nap, at 2:05am EST, and it was very bright and sunny!! So cool~

Wednesday:
Got to Heathrow airport no issues, then took a coach to Stansted. Unfortunately for me, turns out my iPhone 4s from Verizon Wireless does not appear to work overseas, even with data and voice roaming on, and CDMA roaming off (or on), and restarting the phone. If anyone knows whether it's possible to use a VZW iPhone 4s in the UK, PLEASE let me know how! Anyway, called  euan-the-echidhog from a pay phone, although he ended up being just nearby. Met Euan and his mother, then rode back to Euan's house, where I got to ride for the first time on the left-front side of a car, where I was NOT a driver! XD Also caught a train coming through right as we pulled up to the tracks. Ended up taking a nap, as I didn't get any sleep on the plane. Took a walk into Kelvedon, Euan showed me around a bit, and went to the train station and caught some trains going by! I gave Euan's parents a gift of some homemade cookies my sister made (she runs a cookie business out of her kitchen.) Had dinner, went upstairs, started to draw, and that was that.

Thursday:
Went into Colchester to see some sights, like the ancient ruins and walls, as well as the gardens and shoppes. Had a lot of fun there. Also got to try some British fish & chips - similar to the fish fry they have in upstate New York. Came back, worked on my picture some more, had dinner (BBQ) and then pretty much got my picture finished.

Look out for more updates, I shall try and update this every day as I go along. :3c
