And so it begins

Hello!
Just arrived last night, and very tired, in London. I am spending the day here with Mom and Dad (Dad is working and Mom is soaking in every last bit of me she can!). My last day before leaving was pretty epic. Brittany came by to say goodbye and have a hug (and borrow clothes!). I had the most lovely thanksgiving dinner with the Mancini family. Then the evening having a final snuggle with Markian - who I already miss terribly! Its taking a lot of discipline to keep my mind elsewhere and to not be blue. (Hi Markian - I miss you! xo)

London is just how I remembered: busy, expensive, foggy and very British.

Today I went to the National Museum and saw some of the classic paintings of Monet, Manet, Picasso, Van Gogh and many many many others. This made for an amazing afternoon. Tonight we may just go to the theater and if I have my way, we'll see the Muppet show. That's right, there is a Muppet Musical and I plan to see it. The headlines read: "Pant-wettingly funny!" Sign me up.

I have one more day here and then we are off to India Friday morning. Since there is not much to report I'll simply let you in on this funny tidbit: Today I started my Malaria medication. Turns out as an anti bacterial medication it is also often precribed as an acne medication so while the horrendous side effects of dizziness, nasuea, headaches, vomitting and diarhea take hold, at least I'll have clear skin. Oddly enough, these side effects are a lot like the symptoms of... you guessed it! Malaria! So far I have suffered no side effects. And please keep your fingers crossed to that effect.

I Hope for some pictures to follow in the next week.
