The Students are Here!

Thursday brought lots of joy our way as our students arrived! We used Pizza Express to bribe them to stay up and try to lessen the effects of jet lag.  Friday morning we found ourselves leading tours to the local market (grocery store) and the mobile (cell phone) store. Afternoon found our whole team embarking on a three hour walking expedition with our British culture expert. After making our way to Trafalgar Square and catching our first glimpse of the beloved Big Ben one of the girls summed it up perfectly when she turned and said, "now I feel like I've been to London." Exactly.


Tonight we saw Les Miserables at the Queen's Theater. Maybe saw is not the best word, let's try "experienced".  Which reminds me, I won't even bother with eye makeup next time....just can't forget the tissues!  To experience Les Miz is to experience redemption. I think someone very smart said after the show, "that's what Christian drama should look like"  - especially the last scene/song.


Tomorrow we send our students out on a "Tube Rally" which is a short way of saying scavenger hunt. Let's see how many paid attention today. The winning teams earn a few pounds.
