I was so hurried when I posted last night that I left out a few things. First of all on the way to London from LAX, despite the extreme discomfort I met Joss Stone. Apparently she is a famous singer or something from England. Anyway we were chatting it up a bit and I thought she had a familiar face but didnt bother looking any further into it. When I got off the plane a bunch of people asked her for her autograph and etc and it seemed pretty random, until some guy finally told me what was going on.
As for the actual city of London, its quite nice. Everyone seems a little rushed and in a hurry, and the city seems pretty dirty. Of course this could be due to the fact that for the previous 2 days most of Londons transportation was at least delayed or shut down. Despite the conditions I am still blown away at the public transport here. The Tube takes you everywhere you could want to go, and it seems like even when you miss a train, the next one is a few seconds away. One of my favourite things about the city is that they have at least 5 free newspapers that are given out. So when youre on the underground it seems like everyone is reading one of the several publications. Its pretty cool, and something I will miss.
Today I spent the day as close to being a true Londoner as I could manage. I also took a nice day trip to Oxford which was amazing. Ill have to write about that tomorrow. I feel like walked about 100 miles today, and am pretty exhausted. Taking the Chunnel to Paris tomorrow afternoon and I cant wait for Chris to get here. It will be nice to have him around.

Hey Kyle, say hello to Paris for me. Remember the Musee D’Orsay my favorite museum. Have a crepe and visit the Shakespeare bookstore near Notre Dame. You can find some English books! So happy that you have enjoyed London. Paris is a dream. We miss you, Jan
Since you're off to Paris, I can now start referring to you as Kronge de l'ronge....and I know you are very François but I just have to tell you the word is spelled "favorite". Can't wait to hear about PARIS!! Hopefully we'll see some pictures soon. I hope my last entry made you laugh and laugh and think of home and that you read it in the voice. Scooter still thinks he's hearing you come through the door and is looking for people to lick. I love you soooo much, MUUAAHHHHHHH!
