"And on the left is the American Embassy..... Oh sorry just a Starbucks"

Nine and one half hours later our plane landed. Just before 7am on Friday the 4th. Everything in SFO went smoothly, no one missed our plane there were no delays. I slept most of the flight so I already feel pretty well adjusted to the time change. A lot of the other kids didn't sleep a wink and they are behind me as I type this exclaiming "It can't only be 2:00!!.. It feels waaay later."
We left the airport on our bus.. it was about a 30 minute drive to our flats. They are very nice, very cute and convenient. If you leave the building and go left for about two minutes you wind up at a tube station. But if you go right from our apartments you hit a grocery store and pharmacy. My roommates and I went down to the store, I managed to hold my own paying in pounds. But I didn't try for exact change...
My address here is..
Madeline Hall
Flat G
29 Clifton Gardens
Maida Vale
London
W9 1AR

So feel free to send letters. But only letters! Packages have to go to another address.
