greetings from london

hey all,
we left greece today. can't believe it. pulled an all-nighter ending with some pictures of a select group of us in togas on top of the alkropolis... priceless pictures.. even locals were posing with us. we were definitely a sight to be seen. unfortunately my luck proved itself once again and my camera broke a couple weeks ago so maria has been my savior. love her.
we caught a cab at 530am, so obviously there was no time to sleep. today we had a long layover in heathrow so we went into the city and took in the sights, including west minster abbey, the london bridge and the parliament building. unreal going from country to country.
this trip has been incredible and i am pretty much in disbelief that it is no more. more reflections to come. i only have a couple minutes left and no more pounds. all this foreign currency is driving me nuts.
one more thing to add of things i learned in greece- mercedes is the brand of choice for vehicles of all kinds. besides the typical benz sedan, mercedes tour buses and trash trucks run rampant in athens. so bizarre. ahh can't believe i'll be back in the states in less than 10 hours. see you all soon. <3 alka in london
