Independence Day

Today was a day for independence. Most notably: riding public transport to and from school.

We had a lovely welcome from Ursuline High School. Lovely doesn't actually begin to cover it, but that's the only word I have at 12:30am. More pictures of school and our welcome tomorrow when I transfer pix from my camera.

The canteen celebrated the 4th today with American foods--burgers, "southern" chicken, stuffed bell peppers. All really good. (UA girls, can we talk about the break at 10:30 where AMAZING hot food is sold?)

Tonight we rode into London proper to see Wicked at the Apollo. It was fabulous! The girls had time to get spiffed up. They all looked stunning.














It's too bad I like Ms E and Ms G so much, or I'd really hate them for being so pretty after a long day at school.



























Miss Izzy has a story about this signature she acquired on her soon-to-be-unwashed-forever arm. Maybe I'll tell it tomorrow.







After a few train changes and stops for mysterious reasons, we met our host families back at Wimbledon station--the end of the green line--and hopefully headed straight home to bed.

Tomorrow the highlight will be a cooking lesson (!!!) and some cycling training.

Hope you all enjoyed your 4th!
