england

we flew out of washington dc last thursday. we had originally planned to arrive in washington dc 3 days before, but ended up arriving on wednesday night due to benedicts fractured skull. as we drove into washington we went through the centre of town to see the capitol and the white house etc. luckily the air and space museum hadnt closed yet and so we ran in for half an hour. it was amazing! there was the wright flyer, the spirit of st louis, the apollo 11 command module, the X1 and an X15!!!
then on thursday morning we went to the second air and space museum and saw the blackbird, the space shuttle enterprise, and many more famous planes!

our flight to london was fine. i was sitting by myself ass one of our tickets was separate from the others (i asked to have it). sadly the 'in flight entertainment' system kept failing to work, and so i couldnt watch movies for the first half of the flight. eventually when i got it working, i saw an indian movie about a girl who had live in britain for her whole life, and didnt want to marry a 'nice indian boy'. i chose it cos all the other movies didnt work, but it ended up being quite funny :)

after arriving in london we had to go through customs and immigration, which took ages cos the lady at the desk didnt understand dad. and how he is coming here on sabbatical etc.

we then flew to manchester, and then trained to where we were staying. the house we are staying in is nice, and more importantly its warm, cos outside is freezing!

emily (my sister) arrived this morning, i got up at 5 to go meet her at the airport, and now im insanely tired cos i didnt get to sleep until late...

thats all for now, we might or might not be going to london on thursday, depending on how benedict is feeling :)
